Ebermannstadt received city rights from the King of Bayern in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. Already in the oldest seal, which dates from 1323, the canting boar (Eber in German), key and King's head are seen. The key is placed on the boar and the head is placed above. The key is taken from the arms of the Lords of Schlüsselberg (Schlüssel=key), who ruled the town as vassals of the Bavarian Kings until 1347. The seals from 1360-1603 only showed the boar and key. After that the present combination was used on the seals and arms. Later seals and images of the arms, showed two keys, but the latter was removed in 1928 when the arms were officially granted. | Ebermannstadt received city rights from the King of Bayern in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century.
