Origin/meaning
The town of Isny was granted city rights before 1300. The oldest seal, known since 1288, only shows a horseshoe. The horseshoe is a canting symbol (Eisen=iron, the German word for horseshoe meaning hoof-iron). It was used as the town's arms until 1488. The eagle was granted by Emperor Friedrich III in 1488, for the contribution of the town in the war against Flanders. At that time the horseshoe was inverted, before 1488 the shoe was silver on a black shield.
From 1292 the seals of Isny showed St. George, between a horseshoe and a wheel. From the end of the 14th century until the 18th century the seals showed a knight on a horse, with a horseshoe placed somewhere on the seal. In the 18th century the knight held a shield with the present arms.
