Kissingen received city rights already before 1280. Unfortunately no seals are known prior to the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal already shows the above arms, with a city gate and a small shield with the arms of the Counts of Henneberg, who had granted the city rights. All later seals and images have shown the composition, but the size and shape of the different elements has changed considerably during the centuries. The colours are known since the late 16<sup>th</sup> century. | Kissingen received city rights already before 1280. Unfortunately no seals are known prior to the 16<sup>th</sup> century.
