====Origin/meaning====
Freudenberg received city rights in 1333. The city used in the 14<sup>th</sup> century a seal with an eagle and rose derived from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim-Breuberg, who governed the city at the time. In 1612 the city became a possession of the State of Würzburg and the new seals showed St. Lawrence, the local patron saint, as well as the arms of the State of Würzburg. Seals with similar compositions were used until the late 19<sup>th</sup> century.

The present arms were officially granted in 1962 and show in the right half the symbols of the Counts of Wertheim, and in the upper left half a wavy bar for the Main river, and in the lower left half some hills, symbolising the local geographical situation.
