Amöneburg was founded by the Bishops of Mainz, who also granted the city rights in the first quarter of the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal dates from 1258 and shows a bishop between two towers. All later seals, except one, show the composition of St. Martin and the beggar. St. Martin is the patron saint of Mainz. The only exception is a 18<sup>th</sup> century seal that shows St. George and the dragon. | Amöneburg was founded by the Bishops of Mainz, who also granted the city rights in the first quarter of the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
