Origin/meaning
Löwenstein received city rights in 1287, but there are no seals known until 1498. The seal already showed the present arms, which are a combination of the arms of the Wittelsbach family (see Bayern), and the lion of Calw.Until 1281 Löwenstein was a possession of a branch of the Counts of Calw, who named themselves after the castle Löwenstein. The arms were also appropriate as Löwenstein means lion-stone. In 1281 it became a possession of King Rudolf I, who gave it to his illegitimate son Albrecht. In 1441 it was bought by Prince Friedrich of the Pfalz, of the Wittelsbach dynasty. His grandson received in 1494 the title Count of Löwenstein and he combined the two arms to form the present arms.
