Origin/meaning
The village of Steinach received city rights in 1377 and was renamed Neckarsteinach. The oldest seal dates from the same time and already shows a shield with a harp. The harp is derived from the arms of the Knights of Steinach, who lived in the local castle at the time. Around 1550 the family had four castles/estates around the city. The family became extinct in 1653.
To distinguish the arms of the city from the arms of the family, the harp was often shows on a small mountain in the city arms. The mountain was removed when the arms were officially granted in 1926.
