Ingolstadt received city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal dates from the same time, and shows St. Mauritius, the patron saint of the local church. On the second seal, known since 1314 he holds a small shield with the panther. Since around 1340 only the panther is used on the seals and arms of the city. | Ingolstadt received city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
