The town of Kipfenberg was a possession of the Eichstätt Abbey, and the Kropf family acted as local vassals for the abbots. The family named itself Lords of Kipfenberg and adopted a canting element as their arms, a Wagenkipf (a part of a carriage). This symbol also appears on the seals of the town around 1400. All later seals and arms all used this typical symbol, sometimes with an additional tower as a symbol for the city. | The town of Kipfenberg was a possession of the Eichstätt Abbey, and the Kropf family acted as local vassals for the abbots.
