Origin/meaning

Rosstal received city rights in 1328, but the town did not develop into a proper city at the time. The oldest seal dates from 1501 and already shows a horse coming from a church. The arms are canting, Ross-Stall, or horse-stables, in which the stables were replaced by a church. There are no other seals known until 1819 and it shows, as did the mayor's chain from 1836, the above arms. Ever since the composition has remained the same, even though the size and shape of the individual elements has differed widely.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
