Boppard was already in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century a free Imperial City and thus used the Imperial Eagle on its seals, the oldest known since 1216. The seal shows the eagle on a city wall. A second 13<sup>th</sup> century seal also shows the eagle on a shield besides the local church and patron saint, St. Severus. In the 14<sup>th</sup> century the eagle appears alone, in the 15<sup>th</sup> century with an escutcheon with the cross of Trier. Boppard was sold to Trier in 1312. | Boppard was already in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century a free Imperial City and thus used the Imperial Eagle on its seals, the oldest known since 1216.
