Origin/meaning
The city developed due to the mining activities. The village became a city in 1922 and in 1935 the first arms were devised. The arms showed a wheel and a wolf's hook, the old village symbol. In 1946 the arms were finally granted and show the local church (canting symbol) and the symbols of mining and industry. The wolf's-hook resembled too much the swastika and was thus removed.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
