The oldest seal dates from the early 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows a tower with the small shield of the Wittelsbach family, as Dukes of Bayern. All seals until the late 18<sup>th</sup> century all showed the same composition. In 1819 the tower was placed on a shield and the small shield was taken from the gate to a slightly higher position on the tower, the gate disappeared. | The oldest seal dates from the early 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows a tower with the small shield of the Wittelsbach family, as Dukes of Bayern.
