Origin/meaning
The oldest seal of the city dates from 1359 and shows a small house, a so called Kemenate, and thus a canting symbol. All small seals until the late 18th century only showed the house.
Around 1430 a new great seal was made, which showed the house in the base and in the upper half the arms of Pfalz-Bayern (lion and diamonds), to indicate that the city was part of Bayern. As supporter a savage was used. These arms, including the supporter, were used until 1937, when the supporter was removed.
The arms in an album from 1910
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
