Weilheim Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a silver (= white) shield is a light blue, upright key.The shield has a golden (= yellow) chief superimposed by a black attire.
Meaning:
Weilheim gained city rights in 1319 from Count Ulrich of Aichelberg, and the oldest seal dates from the same time. Prints exist since 1360. The seal showed the key as a symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the city. The attire, taken from the arms of W�rttemberg, was added in the 16th century (known since 1535), even though the city had become part of W�rttemberg in 1334. At first the attire was shown over the key, since 1639 separately in the chief. Sibmacher (1605) displayed a black key without attire.
