Bad Cannstatt is first mentioned as Canstat ad Necarum in 708. It received city rights in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. All seals of Bad Cannstatt (known since 1353) show a canting jug (Kanne). The jug also appears in the arms of the Lords of Cannstatt since 1267. Whether the family took the arms of the town or vice-versa is not known. The present family Schilling von Canstatt still uses a golden jug in a red field as arms. | Bad Cannstatt is first mentioned as Canstat ad Necarum in 708.
