Origin/meaning

The village was founded in the 13^th century by the Lords of Staufen. In the early 14^th century Staufen was already considered a city. The Staufen family ruled the city until 1602, when Staufen became part of Austria. In 1806 the city became part of Baden.

The city did not have its own seal in the 15^th century. The oldest known seal dates from the late 16^th century and shows the arms of the Staufen family, three measuring cups. The present arms were derived from the Staufen family arms. To distinguish the arms, the stars were added.
