Origin/meaning

Wiesensteig was the capital of the Counts of Helfenstein, who also granted the city rights in the middle of the 14th century. The oldest seal is known since 1482 and already shows the elephant from the arms of the Helfenstein dynasty, rising from a mountain. All later seals and arms show the same composition.
