The first time the arms of Geislingen are described dates from August 13, 1367 in a document by Count Ulrich of Helferstein, in which he determines the seals and arms of his city. The seal is supposed to be smaller than the main seal of the count, but larger than his smallest seal. The seals should show the arms of the city, which were identical to the arms of the Count, except for the addition of a crown on the shield. The arms thus showed a white elephant on a mountain and a crest with a rising elephant. The seal has been used at least until 1408, even though the city had become a possession of the city of Ulm in 1367. | The first time the arms of Geislingen are described dates from August 13, 1367 in a document by Count Ulrich of Helferstein, in which he determines the seals and arms of his city.
