| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| Waldenburg became the capital of the Princes of Hohenlohe in 1253 and received city rights in 1330. The oldest seal dates from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and already shows the present composition. The upper half shows a canting forest (Wald), the lower shows a leopard derived from the arms of the Hohenlohe dynasty. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century two variations were used, one with an additional letter L, and one with the lion facing left instead of right. | |
