Miltenberg probably became a city in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The first known seal dates from 1308 and shows the patron saint of the [[State of Mainz]], St. Martin, sitting on a throne and holding a stick and book. All later seals show the same picture, the patron saint with a small shield with the letter M, the initial of the town. Besides the seals there are two descriptions and pictures of the 17<sup>th</sup> century where the arms show tho wheels of Mainz and two letters M, placed crosswise. | Miltenberg probably became a city in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
