Schwerte received city rights in 1242 from Count Adolf I of the Mark. The oldest known seal dates from 1427, but it probably dates from 1397 when the city rights were confirmed. It already shows the two crossed swords, a canting symbol (Schwerter=swords). Ever since two swords have been on the seals and the arms of the city. | Schwerte received city rights in 1242 from Count Adolf I of the Mark.
