Les anciennes armes d'Obernai étaient d'or á une aigle de sable, armée, lampassée et aux dissoers d'or, telles qu'elles apparaissent dans le vitrail de la Décapole de la fin du XVe siècle, au musée de Colmar. L'Armorial de la généralité d'Alsace (n° 364, p. 37) a changé les armes de la « Ville d'Oberehnheim » : « porte diapré de gueules dt de sable à une aigle d'or brochant sur le tour ». Le rouge et le noir sont depuis le XVe siècle, les couleurs de la ville. Obernai possèdait plusieurs sceaux : à l'image ee saint Pierre en 1258, puis de saint Pierre et de saint Paul, fin du XIIIe aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles. Le Schultheissensiegel du XVIIe siècle porte uniquement l'aigle, apparaissant dans le sceaux des le XVIe siècle. Des armes anciennes, datées de 1554, sont sculptées sur la façade de la Halle aux blés d'Obernai.

Its author (or the last of its authors in the case of a collaboration work) died more than 70 years ago (CPI art. L123-1) and did not benefit from any copyright extension (CPI art. L123-8, L123-9 and L123-10)[1];
It is an anonymous or pseudonymous work (the identity of the author has never been disclosed) or a collective work[2] and more than 70 years have passed since its publication (CPI art. L123-3);
It is the recording of an audiovisual or musical work already in the public domain, and more than 50 years have passed since the performance or the recording (CPI art. L211-4).
Please note that moral rights still apply when the work is in the public domain. They encompass, among others, the right to the respect of the author's name, quality and work (CPI art. L121-1). Attribution therefore remains mandatory.
↑Copyright extensions must be considered only in the case of musical works and of authors Mort pour la France (died during conflict, in the service of France). In other cases, they are included in the 70 years post mortem auctoris length (see this statement of the Cour de Cassation).
