Wappen von Geisingen

Official blazon

(de) In gespaltenem Schild vorn in Silber ein roter Löwe, hinten in Gold ein blaubewehrter, blaubezungter roter Adler.

Origin/meaning

Geisingen received city rights in 1310 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. The seal shows two different shields, one with an eagle, the other with a lion. The lion is the symbol of the 13th century Lords of Geisingen of the Wartenberg family, the eagle is derived from the arms of the Counts of Fürstenberg, who acquired the city in the late 13th century. Later, 19th century, seals combined the two elements in a single shield.
