The arms show a city gate and tower, typical for medieval cities to put on their seals. Although Gemünden was mentioned as a city in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century, no seals are known until the second half of the 15<sup>th</sup> century. This seal shows the gate and tower, but not in a shield. As arms and in colour they are known since 1544. | The arms show a city gate and tower, typical for medieval cities to put on their seals.
