Würzburg is an old town, which became the seat of a bishop as early as 741. In the 10<sup>th</sup> century the bishops became Prince-bishops, who bore the title of Duke of Franconia (Franken). The arms show the banner of the bishops, albeit in wrong colours; it should be red and white on a blue shield. The arms are known as the arms of the city since the 16<sup>th</sup> century, but are probably older. The seals of the city until 1570 did not show the arms, but only a castle or fortress with St. Kilian, the patron saint of the city. From 1570 the arms were also used in the seals. The colours are also known since the 16<sup>th</sup> century. | Würzburg is an old town, which became the seat of a bishop as early as 741.
