Achern did not become a city before 1808. The oldest seal of the town dates from 1415 and shows a divided shield with a crosier and a demi-eagle. The crosier symbolises the influence of the bishops of [[Strasbourg|Strassburg]], the eagle symbolises the fact that the town was part of the imperial area of Ortenau. | In gespaltenem Schild vorne in Gold ein halber rot bewehrter und rot bezungter schwarzer Adler am Spalt, hinten in Rot ein silberner Balken. | ||

From 1561 the crosier was replaced by the arms of [[Austria]] which at the time ruled the Ortenau. The eagle at the time was the Austrian eagle, showing a golden nimbus around the head. This nimbus was removed in 1805, when the town became part of Baden. | From 1561 the crosier was replaced by the arms of [[Austria]] which at the time ruled the Ortenau.
