===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The village of Steinach received city rights in 1377 and was renamed Neckarsteinach. The oldest seal dates from the same time and already shows a shield with a harp. The harp is derived from the arms of the Knights of Steinach, who lived in the local castle at the time. Around 1550 the family had four castles/estates around the city. The family became extinct in 1653. <br/> | The village of Steinach received city rights in 1377 and was renamed Neckarsteinach.

To distinguish the arms of the city from the arms of the family, the harp was often shows on a small mountain in the city arms. The mountain was removed when the arms were officially granted in 1926. | To distinguish the arms of the city from the arms of the family, the harp was often shows on a small mountain in the city arms.
