Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1965.

Wetzlar was a free imperial city (Reichsstadt) from 1180-1803. Hence the use of the emperor on a throne on the oldest seal, known since 1226. In 1374 a small shield was placed beside the throne, which shoed the imperial eagle and the small cross. The arms were used already on smaller seals since the mid 14^th century.
The small cross is the symbol of the Kings of the Holy Roman Empire. Since the 17^th century only the arms appear on the local seals. The colours are known since the 18^th century. The composition of the arms thus has not changed since, although in the early 19^th century a golden W was placed on the eagle.

Hupp showed the same composition as the present arms, but in the Imperial colours.
