Bensheim was first mentioned as a city in 1318 and belonged to the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] until 1802. The oldest seal dates from the late 14<sup>th</sup> century and, like all other seals, it showed the Archbishop of Mainz on a throne, often with a small shield with the wheel of Mainz, or with parts of the wheel without a shield. In the early 19<sup>th</sup> century when the city became part of Mainz, the new seal showed the striped lion of Hessen, holding a small shield with the Archbishop. | Bensheim was first mentioned as a city in 1318 and belonged to the [[Mainz (State)|State of Mainz]] until 1802.
