===Origin/meaning===
Mannheim received city rights in 1606 and 1652, but the village had its own court and seals already in the early 16<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal dates from 1510 and shows the lion of the Pfalz and the arms of the Wittelsbach family, who, at the time ruled the <a href=rheinlan|Pfalz]]. Mannheim belonged to the Pfalz. The arms remained unchanged until the early 18<sup>th</sup> century, when the diamonds were replaced by the so-called wolf-iron. This symbol was used as a village and city symbol on border stones, but not as arms. The arms were officially granted in 1896.
