Origin/meaning
Although Wertheim was mentioned as a city in 1244, it was not before 1306 that King Albrecht I granted the official city rights.
The oldest seal of the city dates from the same time and shows already a shield with the eagle and roses. The arms thus basically never changed since. The eagle is the Imperial Eagle and is used as a symbol for the King. The roses are taken from the arns of the medieval Counts of Wertheim.
