Heilbronn was founded in 1220 as a Royal city by Emperor Friedrich II. In 1281 it became a free Imperial city. As all free Imperial cities Heilbronn used the Imperial Eagle in its seals. At first the eagle faced left, but since the 14<sup>th</sup> century until today the eagle faces right (which is more common). | Heilbronn was founded in 1220 as a Royal city by Emperor Friedrich II.

Most Imperial cities use a breast-shield to distinguish the arms. For Heilbronn a small shield with the letters H and B was used until 1556. In that year the three-coloured shield appears in images and architecture in the city. At first the colours were blue-silver-red, which in the 19<sup>th</sup> century were replaced by the present red-silver-blue. The meaning or origin of the colours is not known. | Most Imperial cities use a breast-shield to distinguish the arms. For Heilbronn a small shield with the letters H and B was used until 1556.
