The

They could not decide who threw the spear that caused the boar to die. The boar finally broke down exactly at the border betweenSeßlach and Ebern, with its head in Ebern, and its body in Seßlach, so they divided it. That's why thetown Ebern is named after the boar, and the town'sflag carries thehead of the boar.
