Reichenhall received city rights in the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal dates from 1279 and shows a Agnus Dei, the symbol of Saint John Baptist, the local patron saint. In 1301 a new seal appeared, showing the strong ties to Bayern. At the time the whole area, which was rich in salt, was disputed between the Dukes of Niederbayern and the Archsbishops of Salzburg. To add the panther and diamonds of the arms of Niederbayern in the city seal, was thus a clear pollitical symbol at the time. | Reichenhall received city rights in the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
