Mannheim Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
The shield is divided per pale into gold (= yellow) and black. The dexter half displays a red wolf trap. The sinister half displays a golden (= yellow), rampant, double queued lion, crowned, armed and tongued red.
Meaning:
The village became a possession of the Palatine Count of the Rhine in 1250. The importance of the village increased due to the existence of Eichelsheim castle, erected in order to encash the toll. A court seal existed since the middle of the 15th century (existence of prints proven since 1510). They displayed lion and lozenges of the Wittelsbach kin. This pattern remained also, after the village had gained full city rights in 1652. Since the 18th century the wolf trap was added, probably just a distinguishing mark first known in 1659 from a boundary stone. After Mannheim had become a possesssion of Baden (probably after 1803) wolf trap and lion prevailed.

The coat of arms was confirmed by the Grand Duke of Baden in 1896. The colours of the flag were used since 1613.
