WEILHEIM IN OBERBAYERN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Weilheim-Schongau (until 1972 Weilheim)
Additions : 1978 Deutenhausen, Unterhausen
Official blazon
In Silber eine rote Burg mit drei Zinnentürmen, deren mittlerer höher ist, und offenem Tor mit goldenen Torflügeln.
Origin/meaning
The oldest seal of the city dates from 1261 and shows a crescent withe three stars. Its meaning is not known. The second seal, which is known since 1374 already shows the castle, practically identical to the castle in the present arms. In the 16th century the castle was placed in a shield and the colours were determined. The arms thus have not changed since.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
