The history of the seals and arms of the city is rather complicated. Ebern received city rights in 1230 and became in 1335 a seat of one of the provinces in the State of Würzburg. The oldest seal dates from the middle of the 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows a church. This image remained on the seals until the 16<sup>th</sup> century. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century the seals showed an image of the local city hall. On the other hand, a roll of arms from 1544 shows as arms a canting boar (Eber) as arms. This boar never appeared on the seals though. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the boar suddenly appears in the seals, standing above the bridge over the Baunach river. The colours were first described in 1835. | The history of the seals and arms of the city is rather complicated.
