Heidelsheim was mentioned as a city in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century and in 1307 the city was mentioned as a free imperial city. The city thus had the right to use the Imperial Eagle, which appeared on the seals already in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. Ever since the city has used the eagle on its seals and arms. The only difference was between 1346 and the late 18<sup>th</sup> century that the eagle was shown with a breastshield, showing the arms of the Wittelsbach family (see [[Bayern]]). These were added as a symbol for the Pfalz, to which the city belonged. The Counts of the Pfalz were of the Wittelsbach family. | Heidelsheim was mentioned as a city in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century and in 1307 the city was mentioned as a free imperial city.
