Origin/meaning
Eschwege became a city in the early 13th century. The oldest known seals date from 1261 and 1282 and show, as do all later seals, the city wall with the two towers. In the 16th century the canting ash (Esche) branches were added. The branches were already used as a symbol for the city in the 16th century and became the official arms in the early 17th century. Until the late 19th century the branches remained the official arms of the city, whereas the seals still showed the wall and towers. Since 1884 the city uses the above arms. <
In 1956, however, a book published by the official government of Hessen shows the older arms again. This resulted in a long dispute whether the branches or the towers were the official city arms. The Hessisches Ortswappenbuch mentiones the branch as arms, whereas Stadler mentions in his later work the above arms.
