KÖNIGHEIM
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Main-Tauber Kreis (until 1973 Tauberbischofsheim)
Additions : 1972 Brehmen, Gissigheim; 1973 Pülfringen
Origin/meaning :
The arms were adopted in July 1901.
The oldest seal of Königheim was already mentioned in the 15th century, but only a 19th century seal remained. The seal already showed the pot. The pot also appeared on the oldest known use of the arms on a stone decoration dating from 1499.
The pot (Kanne) is canting, the name was pronounced as 'Kennichen'. Also on a stone relief on the city hall dating from 1707 the arms are used.
As no colours were known, it was decided in 1901 to use the colours of Baden.
