The arms probably date from late medieval times and combine the Imperial eagle, with the deer taken from the arms of the medieval Von Hischberg family (Hirsch=deer). The village historically belonged to a large Imperial Estate, hence the use of the eagle. The combination of eagle and deer appeared on the 17<sup>th</sup> century seal of the city, but is probably of older origin. Although the colours have changed regularly during the centuries, the composition as such remained the same. | The arms probably date from late medieval times and combine the Imperial eagle, with the deer taken from the arms of the medieval Von Hischberg family (Hirsch=deer).
