Origin/meaning

The eagle first appeared in the local seals in the middle of the 14th century (oldest known seal dates from 1345), but the use may be already one century older, as the eagle has only one head. The imperial eagle changed to a double-headed eagle in the late 13th century. Ever since the seals and arms of the city have used the eagle.
