The new seal showed a shield with in the upper half the lion of the State of Bamberg and a golden lion of [[Gera]], for the co-ruler of the city, Heinrich von Gera-Schleiz-Lobenstein. The lower half shows some trees, probably signifying the Frankenwald forests.As in 1567 the bishops acquired the full rule over the city, bishop Veit II von Würtzburg changed the arms. The lion of Gera was replaced by a male bust taken from the arms of von Würtzburg family. Under the rule of Bishop Philipp vol Gebsattel (1599-1609) the bust was changed to a silver goat's rump, taken from his family arms (see image below from 1603 from the Bamberger Vasallentafel). | The new seal showed a shield with in the upper half the lion of the State of Bamberg and a golden lion of [[Gera]], for the co-ruler of the city, Heinrich von Gera-Schleiz-Lobenstein.

In 1636 the new seal showed again the arms from 1567. These arms remained in use until 1819 when the lion of Bamberg had to be removed. The city had become part of Bayern in 1810 and all references to the old rulers had to be removed. The new seal of 1819 thus showed in the upper half the bust, and in the base the trees. These arms were officially confirmed in 1838. | In 1636 the new seal showed again the arms from 1567. These arms remained in use until 1819 when the lion of Bamberg had to be removed.
