Gernsbach probably received city rights before 1250, and became the capital of the County Eberstein in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal is known since 1394, but the style indicates that it dates from the 13<sup>th</sup> century. It shows the rose of the Counts of Eberstein and a ships-hook, probably a symbol for the shipping on the Murg. In the late 14<sup>th</sup> century the city became part of Baden, and already in 1441 the present arms appear in the seals. During the 19<sup>th</sup> century the hooks gradually changed into so-called wolf-irons. | Gernsbach probably received city rights before 1250, and became the capital of the County Eberstein in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
