Origin/meaning

Möckmühl became a city in the late 13^th century, but did not seem to use a seal until the second half of the 15^th century, when the city became part of the Pfalz. The seal showed only the claw, which origin is unknown. In the second part of the 16^th century the mountain and the canting mill-wheel (mill=Mühle) were added. Since 1645 these were the only arms used, both on the seals as on arms proper.

The arms in the Chorographia Württemberg (Wolleber, 1591)

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
