Salmünster received city rights in 1320 from Emperor Ludwig of Bayern. A seal was first mentioned in the 15<sup>th</sup> century, but it does no longer exist. The oldest existing seal dates from the 17<sup>th</sup> century, and shows the local patron saint, St. Bonifatius, behind a shield with the arms of the State of Fulda (black cross), to which the city belonged. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the above arms appear, in which the saint has been reduced to a mitre. | Salmünster received city rights in 1320 from Emperor Ludwig of Bayern.
