Schweinfurt City

Schweinfurt Banner

The flag is blue with a representation of a white eagle without any shield (see right image above). The heraldic description of the city arms reads, "Azure, an eagle Argent". That means, the eagle is one-headed with the head directed to heraldic dexter.

Blue banner with the arms (see left image above). Schweinfurt was formerly a free imperial city, hence the arms show the imperial eagle (with changed colours).

Schweinfurt Coat of Arms

Shield Azure an eagle Argent.
Meaning:
The arms show the imperial eagle. The eagle already appears on the oldest coins of the city, which date from the middle of the 13th century. The oldest seal, dating from around 1280, also shows the eagle, as do all eight other historical seals of the city. The colours on the other hand have changed regularly: in the 15th century silver [white] on black, in 1608 mentioned as silver [white] on violet, later black on gold. Since 1771 the present colours are commonly used. Why these colours are chosen is not known.
