===Origin/meaning===
The oldest seal of the city dates from 1248 and shows Count Wilhelm von Tübingen, Prince of the Palatine (Pfalz) as a knight on a horse. The city at the time belonged to the Pfalz. After the transfer to Hessen, the next seal (from 1264) shows the Count of Hessen as a mounted knight. In the 14<sup>th</sup> century the arms of Hessen appeared on the seal, supported by two dragons or two tree branches.

Other seals show a winged lion with a letter G. These seals were in use until the 19<sup>th</sup> century.
