Origin/meaning
The town became a city in the 14th century and the oldest seal also dates from this time. The seal, which has been used for over 500 years, shows the present image, although not in a shield. The head in the lower part may be the local patron saint, St.Kilian, or a canting bishop. In a few later and smaller seals a staff and sword were added to the bishop, which probably indicated the fact that the city at the time belonged to the State and Bishops of Würzburg. In the 19th century the present arms were restored and based on the oldest seal.
