Wildungen was founded in the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal, dating from 1258 shows the Count of Thüringen as a mounted knight (the city was a possession of the Counts of Thüringen). The next seal, dating from 1262 shows the star of Waldeck, as the city was now a possession of the Counts of Waldeck. Later seals showed the star, with an image of a woman in the base of the shield. Both the arms with and without the woman have been used during the centuries. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the black star in gold, was changed to a golden star in black, to distinguish the arms of the city from those of Waldeck. | Wildungen was founded in the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
