Origin/meaning
Salmünster received city rights in 1320 from Emperor Ludwig of Bayern. A seal was first mentioned in the 15th century, but it does no longer exist. The oldest existing seal dates from the 17th century, and shows the local patron saint, St. Bonifatius, behind a shield with the arms of the State of Fulda (black cross), to which the city belonged. In the 19th century the above arms appear, in which the saint has been reduced to a mitre.
