Origin/meaning

The arms are known since the early 14th century and have not changed since. The arms show a knight in full armour, but its meaning is not known.

The knight holds a shield with the arms of the Counts of Schwarzburg, who ruled the city from the 12th century until 1918.

Hupp showed in the 1920s the arms in different colours, see below.
