Freudenberg received city rights in 1333. The city used in the 14<sup>th</sup> century a seal with an eagle and rose derived from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim-Breuberg, who governed the city at the time. In 1612 the city became a possession of the State of Würzburg and the new seals showed St. Lawrence, the local patron saint, as well as the arms of the State of Würzburg. Seals with similar compositions were used until the late 19<sup>th</sup> century.
