Bayreuth was acquired in 1248 by the Margraves of Nürnberg and was already considered a city since 1231. The oldest seal of the city dates from 1429 and shows a shield with two sticks. The sticks are some farmer's tool and are named Reut in German, the arms are thus canting (two Reuten). The sticks also appear on the coins of the city in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. | Bayreuth was acquired in 1248 by the Margraves of Nürnberg and was already considered a city since 1231.
