===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The oldest known seal of Ottersweier dates from the middle of the 18<sup>th</sup> century. It already shows the chalice with the stars and mountain. The wafer on top was originally also a star. The arms on the seals remained unchanged until 1876, when the chalice and stars were replaced by a candle in a beaker. | The oldest known seal of Ottersweier dates from the middle of the 18<sup>th</sup> century.
