Origin/meaning
Achern did not become a city before 1808. The oldest seal of the town dates from 1415 and shows a divided shield with a crosier and a demi-eagle. The crosier symbolises the influence of the bishops of Strassburg, the eagle symbolises the fact that the town was part of the imperial area of Ortenau.
From 1561 the crosier was replaced by the arms of Austria which at the time ruled the Ortenau. The eagle at the time was the Austrian eagle, showing a golden nimbus around the head. This nimbus was removed in 1805, when the town became part of Baden.
