Origin/meaning
Riedlingen was founded around 1250 by Count Wolfrat von Veringen and received city rights in 1334. From 1291-1805 the city was an Austrian possession, since 1805 it is part of Württemberg.
The oldest seal of the city, dating from the late 13th century shows two spades and a lion in a shield. The spades are a canting symbol; in those days the city's name was Rudelingen (Ruder=spades). The lion is the lion of Habsburg, Dukes of Austria in the 13th century. The arms have basically not changed since, only in the late 15th century the spades were placed on the Austrian arms. Furthermore, until the 18th century often only the spades on the Austrian bar were used. The lion was later restored.
