Schlitz received city rights in the early 15<sup>th</sup> century, but the oldest seal dates from the 17<sup>th</sup> century. It shows the arms of the Lords (later Counts) of Schlitz, who ruled the area as vassals for the Imperial Abbey in Fulda. Later seals all showed the same composition. The above arms were granted in 1919, and the small shield symbolises the castles Ober- and Niederschlitz. | Schlitz received city rights in the early 15<sup>th</sup> century, but the oldest seal dates from the 17<sup>th</sup> century.
