Origin/meaning
The oldest known seal of Bad Aibling dates from the middle of the 14th century and shows already St. George, the patron saint of the city, killing the dragon. All later seals and images have shown the same composition, but the size and shape of the different figures has changed considerably during the centuries, as have the colours.
In the 16th century the arms for the city were displayed differently, where an eagle is 'fighting' a dragon. This probably is a simplified or allegoric version of St. George and the dragon.
