Origin/meaning
Bühl was already a town in the 13th century and the oldest seal dates from the early 15th century. On the oldest seal the canting hills (from Bühel or Hugel, hill) can already be seen.
Seals of Brühl from 1409 and 1643. |
The arms thus never really changed and were finally officially approved in 1900. During the 19th century the hills were sometimes seen as beehives, and shown as such.
Seal from around 1900 |
