Origin/meaning

Bühl was already a town in the 13^th century and the oldest seal dates from the early 15^th century. On the oldest seal the canting hills (from Bühel or Hugel, hill) can already be seen.

The seal from 1409-1507	The seal from 1485-1612
The seal from 1621-1630	The seal from 1643
The seal from 1681-1779	The seal from 1739-1771
The seal from 1805	Late 19th century seal
The seal from 1900

The arms thus never really changed and were finally officially approved in 1900. During the 19^th century the hills were sometimes seen as beehives, and shown as such.
