The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the Abbey founded in 1037 and also of the village which grew around the Abbey. Öhringen grew rapidly and received city rights before 1253. The oldest seal of the city dates from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows St. Peter, holding the key and a book in his hands. On both sides of the saint, a canting ear (Ohr) was added. | The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the Abbey founded in 1037 and also of the village which grew around the Abbey.
