Just a few weeks later, efforts were made to obtain official approval for a city coat of arms. With regard to the heraldic animal, the idea was to use the ibex coming from a wavy base as was used by the town for some time. Formal approval from the Imperial heraldic court was, however, not obtained (reason why is unknown). | ||

The Imperial Ministry of the Interior asked the city council on February 20, 1914 to propose a design which the city thought to be appropriate. | ||
The heraldist [[Hugo Gerard Ströhl]] had already recorded in his book on Austrian city arms (1904) an image of the city arms using an ibex (see below), but also reasoned that, based on an old seal dated from 1568 the ibex should actually be a wolf, which was misinterpreted in time as an ibex. He therefore proposed arms with a red wolf instead of an ibex. This red wolf is taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Passau]], to which the town historically belonged. He also divided the lower half in two parts, with the wavy part reduced to the lower quarter of the shield, also based on the design of the seal. | The heraldist [[Hugo Gerard Ströhl]] had already recorded in his book on Austrian city arms (1904) an image of the city arms using an ibex (see below), but also reasoned that, based on an old seal dated from 1568 the ibex should actually be a wolf, which was misinterpreted in time as an ibex.
