Origin/meaning

Weikersheim received city rights in the 14^th century and was a possession of the Princes of Hohenlohe. The oldest seal dates from around 1400 and already showed the crowned letter W. Ever since this composition has been used on the local seals and arms. The colours were officially determined in 1950 and are based on the oldest colours of Hohenlohe.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
