Origin/meaning
The present arms are granted in 1955 and are based on the old seal of the town. The colours are the oldest known colours, dating from 1565.
The arms show a dragon, that is probably derived from a Roman typane in the local St. Nicholaschurch. The town became a Markt in 1310, but seals are not known until 1514. This seal already shows the dragon. In the 17th and 18th centuries the dragon gradually changed in a basilisk with a rooster's head standing on a mountain. In the 19th century this changed again to a normal rooster.
