The first seals of Koblenz were mentioned in 1198, but the oldest existing seals date from the 13<sup>th</sup> century. All seals until 1282 show a city wall with a church and a lily (for St. Mary). In 1282 a rose appears on the seals. In the 13<sup>th</sup> century the present arms appear. The cross on the arms is derived from the arms of the [[Trier (State)|State of Trier]], to which the city belonged at the time. <br> | The first seals of Koblenz were mentioned in 1198, but the oldest existing seals date from the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
