Osterburken was a possession of the Counts of Hanau and received city rights in 1356 from Emperor Charles IV. In 1376 the city became part of the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] and remained so until 1802. From the first known seal, dating from the 16<sup>th</sup> century, the city has used the wheel of Mainz on its arms. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, when the city was part of Baden, the colours were changed from black in silver, but in the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the colours of Mainz were restored. However, the colours were exchanged, the original arms showed a white wheel on a red field. | Osterburken was a possession of the Counts of Hanau and received city rights in 1356 from Emperor Charles IV.
