The orb is derived from the local village sign, and has no connection with the Imperial orb. The village used a sign of a cross rising from a circle. In the circle a horizontal bar was seen. In the end of the 17<sup>th</sup> century it was seen as an orb and ever since an orb has been the arms of Ubstadt. In the oldest seal, dating from 1705 it is already shown as an orb. In 1699 it was mentioned that the council had no seal. In 1907 the orb was proposed as official arms of the town, but they were not used until 1959, when the municipality decided to use the proposed arms. | The orb is derived from the local village sign, and has no connection with the Imperial orb.
