During the middle ages a royal palace was situated near Sinzig. Sinzig received city rights in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century and the oldest known seal dates from the first half of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The seal shows a King sitting on a throne, all placed above a city wall. From the 14<sup>th</sup> century onwards, the imperial eagle replaced the king. In the late 15<sup>th</sup> century the city wall disappears and until the 19<sup>th</sup> century all seals showed only the eagle. | During the middle ages a royal palace was situated near Sinzig.
