Origin/meaning
Ortenberg received city rights in 1266 from the Lords (later Princes) of Isenburg. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows a fortified city with three towers. All later seals and arms show the same composition. The oldest use on the arms of the city dates from a decoration on the city hall dating from 1605. Except for the shape and style of the composition, the arms have not changed since.
