history

In 487 the Romans leave. The Bavarians then settled again from 500 to 700.

Today's Frankenmarkt did not emerge until 1160 from what was then Habbingen, but the origin of the place is much older. In 1236 Frankenmarkt was granted market rights by Emperor Friedrich II and in 1289 it fell to the Schaumburgs. In 1351 the Habsburgs bought the Frankenburg dominion. In 1578 Stauff was elevated to a noble seat by Emperor Rudolf II . For a short time, between 1810 and 1816, Frankenmarkt belonged to Bavaria . In 1848 the community of Frankenmarkt was founded.

coat of arms

Official description of the Frankenmarkt municipal coat of arms: “Divided by a lowered, silver bar; above three silver heraldic lilies set 1: 2 in blue; green below. ”From a medieval mythological point of view, the lilies were also assigned to the Franks as a coat of arms. In the 11th century the place was opened up by the Bamberg bishops through Frankish settlers, hence the lilies. The silver ribbon symbolizes the Vöckla. The coat of arms was awarded in 1976.
