Origin/meaning
Vellberg received city rights in 1500, but the city never used any seals. The oldest use of arms dates from the 19th century and the arms showed a well-house on a hill (see image below). This was a canting element Well-Berg.
The present arms were granted on October 28, 1936 and are a combination of the wing taken from the arms of the Counts of Flügelau (Flügel=wing) and a free quarter derived from the arms of the Lords of Vellberg. Vellberg was a possession of the Counts of Flügelau until 1318. The Lords of Vellberg actually ruled the town as vassals of the counts.
