Münchberg received city rights in 1364 from the Counts of Sparneck, but became in 1384 a possession of the Hohenzollern family. The oldest seal dates from the same time, which shows a quartered shield; in the first and fourth quarter the letter M, and in the second and third quarter the black and silver quartered shield of the Hohenzollern family. In 1562 a new seal was made, which showed the above arms. The right half now showed a simplified version of the older arms, with only the quartered Hohenzollern arms and the town's initial. The left half now shows a canting composition, a monk (Mönch) on a mountain (Berg). The arms did not change since and were officially granted on December 13, 1928. | Münchberg received city rights in 1364 from the Counts of Sparneck, but became in 1384 a possession of the Hohenzollern family.
