===Origin/meaning===
===Origin/meaning===
Heimsheim received city rights in the late 13<sup>th</sup> century, which were confirmed in 1456. Probably at the same time the arms were devised and placed on the local seal. The wheat-ears are a canting symbol (for Heimsen) and have been used ever since as the arms of the city.  However, in the late 19th century the local seal showed a shield with two crossed arrows. The meaning thereof I do not know.
