Eichstätt Coat of Arms

image by Jarig Bakker, 24 Aug 2008

Gules a city gate Argent flanked by two turrets, issuing from base vert, surmounting an oak tree Vert with acorns or.
Meaning:
A seal of the city was already mentioned in 1256 as "Eihstat". The oldest retained seal is found on a charter dated 1304, which shows the depicted arms.
The settlement of Eichstätt was mentioned for the first time in 740 in connection with the foundation of a bishopric. In 908 Bishop Erchanbald acquired the right from King Ludwig the Child of markets, mint and customs, as well as the privilege to build a castle. It was named a city (Statt, Latin:civitas) on coins of Bishop Heribert (1022-1042), later on a charter of King Heinrich IV in 1080. The walls on the arms represent that elevation to a city. The name "Eichstätt" was understood as "Eichenstätte" (place of oaks), which was the reason, why an oak was placed on the arms, making it canting.

The arms are traditional and based on a seal from 1295.
