VELLBERG
State : Baden-Württemberg
District (Kreis) : Schwäbisch Hall
Additions : 1972 Großaltdorf
Official blazon
(de) In blauem Schild unter goldenem (heraldisch) rechtem Obereck ein silberner Flug.
Origin/meaning
Vellberg received city rights in 1500, but the city never used any seals. The oldest use of arms dates from the 19th century and the arms showed a house on a hill (see image belos).
The present arms were granted on Oictober 28, 1936 and are a combination of the wing taken from the arms of the Counts of Flügelau (Flügel=wing) and a free quarter derived from the arms of the Lords of Vellberg. Vellberg was a possession of the Counts of Flügelau until 1318. The Lords of Vellberg actually ruled the town as vassals of the counts.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
