The oldest seals reflect the changes in government. The oldest seal is mentioned in 1227 and known since 1234. It shows a single headed Imperial Eagle. The town was considered an Imperial Town, even though it had no city rights at the time. Another 13<sup>th</sup> century seal shows a castle with a wavy bar (the Rhine) and above the tower an image of the St. Mary on a throne. St. Mary is the patron saint of the Bishops of Basel. The seal thus dates from after 1245. After 1273 when Breisach became an Imperial City all seals have shown the Imperial Eagle. | The oldest seals reflect the changes in government.
