Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 23, 2009.

The arms, but without the cross, are already known since the 14^th century. The meaning is not clear, but probably simply indicates the fact that the city was situated near a lake and fishing was an important activity at the time. The cross was added only in the 17^th century.

Seal from around 1900	The arms in the Wappen-Sammlung (+/- 1910)
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
