===Origin/meaning=== | |||
Ansbach was already a city in 1221, but when the city rights were granted is not known. The arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Dornberg, who in the 13<sup>th</sup> century ruled the city. The oldest seal dates from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows already a shield with a wavy bend, which is also a canting symbol (Bach=brook). In the 16<sup>th</sup> century the bend was decorated with small waves, since the end of the 17<sup>th</sup> century with three fish. The fish already appear on images in books etc since 1530, but not on official monuments and seals until the 17<sup>th</sup> century. | Ansbach was already a city in 1221, but when the city rights were granted is not known.

The first known colours of the arms are a red shield with a white bend. The green colour appears in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the eagle of Brandenburg (the Duke of Brandenburg were also Counts of Ansbach), was added as a supporter. This supporter is still sometimes used. | The first known colours of the arms are a red shield with a white bend. The green colour appears in the 16<sup>th</sup> century.
