===Origin/meaning===

Freudenberg received city rights in 1333. The city used in the 14th century a seal with an eagle and rose derived from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim-Breuberg, who governed the city at the time. In 1612 the city became a possession of the State of Würzburg and the new seals showed St. Lawrence, the local patron saint, as well as the arms of ~~the State of Würzburg~~. Seals with similar compositions were used until the late 19th century.
