===Origin/meaning=== | |||
Gengenbach was a free imperial city from 1218-1803. The city thus was entitled to use the imperial eagle on its seals and arms. The fish appears for the first time on a 13<sup>th</sup> century seal, and is a canting element (it is described as a Gang-fisch). | Gengenbach was a free imperial city from 1218-1803.

In 1505 Emperor Maximilian granted the above arms, which combine the old eagle with the fish. The arms have not basically changed since, except that the colour of the field often was described as gold instead of silver. Gold being the colour used in the imperial arms. | In 1505 Emperor Maximilian granted the above arms, which combine the old eagle with the fish.
