On the seals from 1640 and the 18<sup>th</sup> century he is shown killing a dragon and the pile of stones is removed. In 1803 the city adopted unofficially a shield with three letters S (Siegel Stadt Staffelstein), but in 1819 the historical arms were granted and the colours were defined for the first time.
