Origin/meaning

The oldest seal of the city dates from the middle of the 14th century and already show a knight on a pile of stones. The latter is a canting element (Staffelberg). The knight is St. George, the patron saint of the city.

Wappen von Bad Staffelstein

The first seal of the city.

On the seals from 1640 and the 18th century he is shown killing a dragon and the pile of stones is removed. In 1803 the city adopted unofficially a shield with three letters S (Siegel Stadt Staffelstein), but in 1819 the historical arms were granted and the colours were defined for the first time.
