Origin/meaning

The arms of Aschaffenburg were granted in 1836 by King Ludwig I of Bayern.

Aschaffenburg became a city in the 13^th century and was one of the main cities in the State of Mainz and a stronghold of the Archbishops of Mainz. The first seals (known since 1236) show an archbishop sitting on a throne in a Gothic piece of architecture. Later seals, dating from the 14^th-16^th century only show a bishop, not the gate or church. The seals never really changed until the 19^th century.

The arms however, changed considerably in the 17^th century. In an early 17^th century roll of arms the arms of Aschaffenburg are shown as a single cross. In 1633 only a letter A (compare Miltenberg) is shown as arms of Aschaffenburg.
The letter A also appears in a new seal from 1815. In 1836 the old seal was restored and the arms were changed accordingly and thus show the same picture as the oldest seal.
