===Origin/meaning===
Eschwege became a city in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seals date from 1261 and 1282 and show, as do all later seals, the city wall with the two towers. In the 16<sup>th</sup> century the canting ash (Esche) branches were added. The branches were already used as a symbol for the city in the 16<sup>th</sup> century and became the official arms in the early 17<sup>th</sup> century. Until the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the branches remained the official arms of the city, whereas the seals still showed the wall and towers. Since 1884 the city uses the above arms. <
