The arms of Dillingen are based on the oldest known seal of the city, which dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. The bend is taken from the arms of the Counts of Dillingen, who ruled the city until 1258. The fleur-de-lis and the stars are symbols of the St. Mary, the patron saint of the diocese of Augsburg, to which the city belonged. | The arms of Dillingen are based on the oldest known seal of the city, which dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century.
