Official blazon
German	In Blau unter einem schreitenden herschauenden goldenen Löwen auf dreiteiligem silbernem Felsen stehend zwei goldene Leuchter mit brennenden Kerzen.
English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 23, 1962.

The oldest seal of the city dates from 1300 and already showed the two candles and a mountain, which are a canting symbol (lights-mountain). All later seals and images until 1962 show the same composition of candles and mountain, see the images below.

In 1962 the lion was added. It is derived from the arms of the Counts of Andechs-Meranien, who granted the city rights in 1231.
