Origin/meaning

Weissenstein was already mentioned as a city in the 14^th century, but no seals or arms are known until the early 19^th century. The oldest seal dates from 1835 and already shows the same arms as above. The lions are derived from the arms of the Lords of Rechberg, Lords of Weissenstein in the 14^th century. The monument is canting, Weissenstein means white-stone.
