Wanfried received city rights in 1608 by Markgrave Moritz of Hessen, but the oldest seal already dates from 1578. The seal shows the knight with a sword and spear. Ever since the knight has been the arms of the city. The image itself has changed considerably, sometimes a whole knight, sometimes a torso, with or without spear etc. The present image has been in use since the end of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. | Wanfried received city rights in 1608 by Markgrave Moritz of Hessen, but the oldest seal already dates from 1578.
