Rottweil was already in the 13<sup>th</sup> century an important imperial city. The city remained an imperial city until 1802, when it became part of Württemberg. The oldest seal, dating from the early 13<sup>th</sup> century, and all later seals show the one-headed imperial eagle. The small cross, probably added to distinguish the arms from similar arms, appeared in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The cross is the symbol of the main church, the Holy Cross church. | Rottweil was already in the 13<sup>th</sup> century an important imperial city.
