Origin/meaning
Schotten received city rights in 1354, but the oldest known seals of the city date from the 16thcentury. The seal showed a shield with a bird on a mountain. This is likely a canting arms for the Vogelsberg (Bird-mountain) region. It may, however, also be derived from the arms of the Lords of Weinsberg, who also used a eagle-like bird in their arms. In 1326 Konrad of Weinsberg acquired the village.
The arms were officially granted in 1962 and the hill in the base was replaced by a ball.
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
