The above arms were officially granted on June 30, 1966, but are based on the oldest seal of the city, known since 1364.
The upper half shows the local fortifications and the Abbot of the Waldsassen Abbey, to which the city at the time belonged. The base shows a farmer clearing the forest, which is based on the (false) ethymology of the name (which can be explained as a giant clearing the forest, Turse=Riese or giant, -reuth from roden or clearing forest).
