Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on August 22, 1928.
The city did not have historical seals or arms, thus the arms were newly devised in 1928. The lion is the lion of the Dukes of Jülich, in which territory the town was situated. The town was well known historically for its pottery, hence the vase held by the lion.
The arms on a special cancellation 1987 with Kapfenberg |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
