Origin/meaning

The arms of the city (German name Kotzenau) show a city wall with two towers; between the towers two water lily branches. The town was founded in 1703 by Catherina von Stosch, received city rights in 1713 and became a possession of Count Gottlob von Redern in 1722. The two water lily leaves are derived from the arms of Von Stosch (?), but in the 19th and early 20th century the city used a wheel, for Von Redern (Rad=wheel).
