Geisingen received city rights in 1310 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. The seal shows two different shields, one with an eagle, the other with a lion. The lion is the symbol of the 13<sup>th</sup> century Lords of Geisingen of the Wartenberg family, the eagle is derived from the arms of the Counts of Fürstenberg, who acquired the city in the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. Later, 19th century, seals combined the two elements in a single shield. | Geisingen received city rights in 1310 and the oldest seal dates from the same time.
