Arzberg received city rights in 1408 and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1423. The seal showed, as did the second seal from 1516, a shield with a chequy bordure, and in the center a lion mining a mountain. The bordure and the lion are derived from the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, who owned the city at the time. The mountain is the Erzberg (ore-mountain) and thus a canting element.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 15, 1968

Arzberg received city rights in 1408 and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1423. The seal showed, as did the second seal from 1516, a shield with a chequy bordure, and in the center a lion mining a mountain. The bordure and the lion are derived from the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, who owned the city at the time. The mountain is the Erzberg (ore-mountain) and thus a canting element.

In the 17th century the bordure was removed from the seal. The colours of the lion and the shield also have changed often during the centuries.

From the early 19th century until 1968 the arms were used in different colours, the historical colours were restored in 1968 and the arms were not changed after the mergers in the 1970s.
