Origin/meaning
Merenberg was founded by the Lords of Merenberg in the 13th century, who granted the city rights in 1290 and ruled the city until 1328. The oldest seal dates from 1321, and shows a city wall, with the arms of the Lords of Merenburg, a St. Andrew's cross and 12 small crosses. The seals remained unchanged until 1816, when only a undetermined building was used. The above arms are nearly identical to the arms of the Lords of Merenburg and were officially granted in 1950.
