Origin/meaning
The origin of the horseshoes is not known. It may be a canting symbol (Hufeisen = horseshoe), in any case it was used as the symbol of the village in the 15th century. The oldest seal of the town dates from the 15th century and was used until 1622. It showed a single horseshoe in a shield. In the 17th century the number was increased to three. The arms were granted in 1844 by King Ludwig I of Bayern in the colours of the Teutonic Order, who had some possessions in the town. The arms haven't changed since and the horseshoe is used as a symbol for the city in the arms of the district.
