Bönnigheim was founded around 1280 and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1285. As an imperial possession the seal showed the imperial eagle. In the 14<sup>th</sup> century the eagle was replaced by a shield with two buffalo horns, the arms of the Lords of Sachsenheim. These governed the city at the time as vassals of the Bishops of Mainz. In the 15<sup>th</sup> century the horns were replaced by the wheel of Mainz. And in the 17<sup>th</sup> century the crescent was added. The crescent is taken from the arms of the Lords of Wöllwarth, later governors of Bönnigheim. | Bönnigheim was founded around 1280 and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1285.
