In Blau ein mit drei sechsstrahligen roten Sternen belegter goldener Schrägbalken Origin/meaning The arms first appear in the seals of the mid 14th century. The arms are most likely derived from the arms of the Güss von Güssenberg family, who owned the village from the end of the 13th century, and who arranged the granting of the city rights in 1330 from Ludwig of Bayern. The oldest seal, however, showed only one star, to distinguish the arms from those of the family. Only in the 19th century the two other stars were added. The arms in Kramer (1841) The municipal stamp shown in 1892 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 The arms in the Deutsches Wappenmuseum Contact and Support Contact Facebook Instagram Donate with Paypal Donate with WhyDonate eBay shop Rare heraldic book downloads Partners: Meijerink heraldic bookshop Webaldic heraldic identifying programme Nederlands Genootschap voor Heraldiek Armorial de France Homunculus / Heraldicum Disputationes De Raaf heraldic design Your logo here ?
