Zwingenberg got city rights in 1274 by King Rudolf. The city was a loan to the counts of [[Katzenelnbogen]] from the bishops of Mainz. The oldest seal probably was made in the end of the 13<sup>th</sup> century, but the oldest remaining copy dates from 1350. It shows already the present arms. The upper part shows the lion of Katzenelnbogen, the lower part probably signifies the position on the Neckar river (water lily leaves). | Zwingenberg got city rights in 1274 by King Rudolf.
