Feuchtwangen was until 1376 a possession of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1376 it became a possession of the Markgraves of Nürnberg. Until 1819 the city used two different symbols on its seals and arms; the imperial eagle and a canting pine tree (Fichte=pine tree). The eagle was the symbol most used on the seals of the city, whereas the tree was more often used in less official documents. In 1819, when the city belonged to Bayern, the Bavarian government ordered the removal of all old imperial symbols. Ever since only the tree is used as the arms and symbol of the city. | Feuchtwangen was until 1376 a possession of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
