Römhild received city rights around 1300 from the Counts of [[Henneberg]]. The above arms were granted by Emperor Maximilian in 1498. The main shield shows the chequered bar used by the Counts of [[Henneberg]] as Vicounts of Würzburg. The small shield with the column on top shows the canting arms of the Italian Colonna family. The Counts of [[Henneberg]] claimed to be descendants of this family. | Römhild received city rights around 1300 from the Counts of [[Henneberg]].
