Origin/meaningHomburg developed around the castle of the same name and received city rights in 1332. The city was a fortress of the Bishops of Würzburg. The oldest seal dates from 1644 and shows already a fork and roses. The fork was used to catch otters in the Main river. The roses are derived from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim who ruled the city as vassals for the bishops. Contact and SupportPartners: Your logo here ?
