Origin/meaning
Hüfingen officially received city rights in 1452, but was already mentioned as a city in the 14th century. The oldest seal also dates from the middle of the 15th century and already shows a watch tower with two smaller side towers. This composition appeared on all later seals and images. The size and shape of the tower on the other hand has changed considerably between the different images.
The colours are only known from 1816.
The seals of the city:
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
