The arms were granted in 1570, at the same time as the city rights. Originally the arms were only granted to Heinrichsstadt, a part of the present city. The arms were used by the whole city since 1747. The horse is the horse of the State of Braunschweig (see the arms of the State Niedersachsen), now with saddle and reins. The pillar is also taken from the arms of the Dukes of Braunschweig, with the exception that the peacock feathers, which are present on the ducal arms are omitted. | The arms were granted in 1570, at the same time as the city rights.
