Gochsheim is first mentioned as Gozbodesheim in the early 9<sup>th</sup> century. In the early 13<sup>th</sup> century it was owned by the Counts of Eberstein, who also granted the city rights to the town. After the death of the last Count of Ebersberg, Gochsheim became a possession of Württemberg. In 1806 it became part of Baden. | Gochsheim is first mentioned as Gozbodesheim in the early 9<sup>th</sup> century.

The oldest seal of the city dates from 1316 and shows already the rose on a shield (see below). [[File:gochshe2.jpg|center]] | The oldest seal of the city dates from 1316 and shows already the rose on a shield (see below). [[File:gochshe2.jpg|center|Wappen von {{PAGENAME}}]] | ||
The rose is derived from the arms of the counts of Ebersheim. In later seals the rose was still used, but not yet on a shield, and three stars were added. In the 16<sup>th</sup> century the rose was again placed as the sole object on a shield. In the early 19<sup>th</sup> century a crown was used on the shield. In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the heraldic rose was replaced by a natural rose. The old rose was restored in 1898, but until 1945 the old seal with the natural rose was sometimes used. | The rose is derived from the arms of the counts of Ebersheim.
