- Source: List of free imperial cities
There were 51 Free Imperial Cities in the Holy Roman Empire as of 1792. They are listed here with their official confessional status confirmed by the Peace of Westphalia (1648).
In many of these coats of arms, an eagle reflects the direct association with the Holy Roman Emperor, whose own standard was that of an imperial eagle.
