Object history
Deutsch: Das vormalige Königsgut Forchheim gelangte zusammen mit 14 weiteren Ortschaften bei dessen Gründung 1007 durch Kaiser Heinrich II. an das neu geschaffene Bistum Bamberg. Es sind keine entsprechenden Unterlagen überliefert, jedoch wurden Forchheim spätestens im 13. Jahrhundert die Stadtrechte verliehen. Das älteste bekannte Siegel Forchheims aus der Zeit um 1280 zeigt redend zwei Fische, in der Annahme, der Stadtnamen rühre von Forchen her. Mittlerweile ist diese Annahme widerlegt. Forchheim leitet sich vom althochdeutschen foraha ab, was Siedlung an einem Föhrenwald bedeutet. Für den Zeitraum zwischen 1559 und 1650 sind Siegel mit zusätzlichen Wellen und dem Buchstaben V für Vorchheim belegt. Die Tingierung des Forchheimer Wappens änderte sich über die Jahrhunderte. Während der Schild 1565 noch von Rot und Gold geteilt war, war dieser zu kgl. bayerischen Zeiten blau. Die gültige Farbgebung entspricht der farbigen Abbildung aus dem Jahre 1555.
English: When the coat of arms was bestowed upon the town at the beginning of the 13th century, people wrongly believed that their town's name, "Vorchheim" originates from the Old High German word vorhe (“trout”). This resulted in the coat of arms showing two trout (above). Although the rivers around the town were certainly home to a great number of trout in those days, it seems likelier that the town's name was actually derived from the Old High German word vorha, forha (Föhre=“pine”). Hence, the name means “pine home” with a probability bordering on certainty.
