Origin/meaning
Baiersdorf received city rights before 1353, but the oldest seal is known from 1458. The seal already showed the above arms. The arms show in the left half a man, officially described as a Geleitsmann (guide ?). The right half shows the quartered shield of the Hohenzollern family, Viscounts of Nürnberg, who ruled the city for many centuries. During the centuries the man has often been misinterpreted and was sometimes shown as a savage, postman, guard, shepherd or hunter.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
