The oldest seals reflect the changes in government. The oldest seal is mentioned in 1227 and known since 1234. It shows a single headed Imperial Eagle. The town was considered an Imperial Town, even though it had no city rights at the time. Another 13<sup>th</sup> century seal shows a castle with a wavy bar (the Rhine) and above the tower an image of the St. Mary on a throne. St. Mary is the patron saint of the Bishops of Basel. The seal thus dates from after 1245. After 1273 when Breisach became an Imperial City all seals have shown the Imperial Eagle.

During the 19th and first half of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, both the old arms as well as the combination were used. In 1927 it was decided that the eagle had no place in the arms. Finally, in 1955, it was decided to use both the eagle and arms as a combination. The present arms were thus granted on November 5, 1956.
