The village Schwarzach was named after the local abbey, founded in the 8<sup>th</sup> century and abolished in 1803. A local council was first mentioned in 1224. The seals of the council are known since 1596 and show the crossed sword and key; the symbols of St. Paul and St. Peter, the patron saints of the abbey. All later seals show the same composition, sometimes under a crowned shield. The colours were officially defined by the State Archives and approved by the local council in February 1900. | The village Schwarzach was named after the local abbey, founded in the 8<sup>th</sup> century and abolished in 1803.
