The mural crown is the emblem of local government and these perpetuate the distinctive record of the City of Heidelberg in having the first suburban form of local Government of the Colony. An owl, the symbol of wisdom, is also embodied in the crest as our City is named after Heidelberg in Germany whose University founded in AD 1386, became one of the most famous seats of learning. The motto "Industrica" provides a link with the early seal of the City. The municipality was declared a City by Act of Parliament on April 11, 1934.'city of heidelberg, heidelberg, commemorative items, city of banyule -
