Origin/meaning
Geisingen received city rights in 1310 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. The seal shows two different shields, one with an eagle, the other with a lion. The lion is the symbol of the 13th century Lords of Geisingen of the Wartenberg family, the eagle is derived from the arms of the Counts of Fürstenberg, who acquired the city in the late 13th century. Later, 19th century, seals combined the two elements in a single shield.

Seal from 1324-1587
Seal from 1554-1610
