The Counts of Katzenelnbogen granted city rights in 1312 to the village that had grown around their castle. The new city also took the arms of the Counts as its arms, as can be seen on several 14<sup>th</sup> century seals. The present arms are granted in 1935 and still show the lion of the family, which became extinct in 1479.<br/> | The Counts of Katzenelnbogen granted city rights in 1312 to the village that had grown around their castle.
