Hiltpoltstein received town rights in 1417, but the oldest seal is known from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century. The main shield is derived from the arms of the medieval Lords of Hiltpoltstein. The escutcheon shows the arms of [[Nürnberg]], as the city owned the town and surrounding area since 1503. | Hiltpoltstein received town rights in 1417, but the oldest seal is known from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century.
