Schweinsberg received city rights in 1332, but the city never used an own seal or arms until 1818. The new seal showed the present arms, which combine the crest of the Princes of Hessen with a canting swine's head. The city was a possession of Hessen since the early 16<sup>th</sup> century. As several other towns also used the crest in their arms ([[Kirchhain]], [[Kirtorf]]), the swine's head was added to distinguish the arms. | Schweinsberg received city rights in 1332, but the city never used an own seal or arms until 1818.
