Meaning:
Überlingen gained city rights, granted by the Staufen kin, in the early 13th century and the title of a Free Imperial City in or shortly after 1273. The oldest known seal of the local royal administrator (Amtmann) is from 1244 and already displays the Imperial Eagle. The inescutcheon was granted on 3 February 1528 by Emperor Karl V, displaying the lion of the Habsburg dynasty, to which the Emperor belonged. In 1803 the lion had been replaced by the bend of Baden for a while.

Yellow and red are the city colours since 1528.
