The oldest seal of the town, dating from 1409, already shows the upper part of a tree of unknown species. In 1438 the seal showed a proper tree and in 1574 the seal showed a tree with two trunks.

In the 19<sup>th</sup> century the tree was shown as a chestnut or apple tree, but the official description does not mention any species. | The oldest seal of the town, dating from 1409, already shows the upper part of a tree of unknown species.
