Origin/meaning
Weikersheim received city rights in the 14th century and was a possession of the Princes of Hohenlohe. The oldest seal dates from around 1400 and already showed the crowned letter W. Ever since this composition has been used on the local seals and arms. The colours were officially determined in 1950 and are based on the oldest colours of Hohenlohe.
