(de) In Silber drei bewurzelte rote Nussbäume.
Origin/meaning
The arms are canting, showing some hazelnut branches (Nuss is nut). The name is, however, of Slavonic origin and means a promontory. The old seals showed complete trees, as also shown by Hupp in the early 20th century. Later the city simplified the design.
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
