Bad Karlshafen was founded as a city in 1699 by Count Karl of Hessen at the start of the local canal between the Weser river and Kassel. The first citizens were Huegenot refugees from France. The city was named Karlshafen after its founder in 1717. Before 1717 it was called Sieburg and on the first seal of the city a castle was placed. The castle was also used in the arms of the city. It has been stated that the arms were thus canting (Burg=castle). The 19<sup>th</sup> century arms showed a castle which looked like the local Kruckenburg castle. These are shown below. | Bad Karlshafen was founded as a city in 1699 by Count Karl of Hessen at the start of the local canal between the Weser river and Kassel.
