Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on April 8, 1971.

The arms of the former municipalities could not be combined, so new arms were devised. The arms indicate the nature (water, waterlily) which surrounds the city. The five leaves symbolise the five former municipalities.

Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
