Burkheim received city rights in 1300 and was at the time a possession of the Lords of Üsenberg. The oldest seal of the city dates from the same time and shows a canting castle (from Burg-heim, Burg=castle). The present style of the castle dates from a seal from 1500. The image was placed in a shield and adopted as arms in 1962. | Burkheim received city rights in 1300 and was at the time a possession of the Lords of Üsenberg.
