Burgkunstadt was already mentioned as a city in 1325 and was a district capital of the State of Bamberg. The oldest seal dates from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows a city wall and a small church. Since 1450 the seals, and later the arms, all showed the above composition. The size and shape as well as the colours have changed during the centuries, but the basic composition remained unchanged. The above composition and colours have been used at least since the end of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. | Burgkunstadt was already mentioned as a city in 1325 and was a district capital of the State of Bamberg.
