The beaver (Biber) is a canting symbol, the name is derived from Biberahe (or Biberwassser, beaver-water). The lower part of the arms symbolises the importance of the railway lines in the development of the city. The colours are derived from the colours of the Hersfeld Abbey, which ruled the area for many centuries. | The beaver (Biber) is a canting symbol, the name is derived from Biberahe (or Biberwassser, beaver-water).
