Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1965.

Wetzlar was a free imperial city (Reichsstadt) from 1180-1803. Hence the use of the emperor on a throne on the oldest seal, known since 1226. In 1374 a small shield was placed beside the throne, which shoed the imperial eagle and the small cross. The arms were used already on smaller seals since the mid 14th century.
The small cross is the symbol of the Kings of the Holy Roman Empire. Since the 17th century only the arms appear on the local seals. The colours are known since the 18th century. The composition of the arms thus has not changed since, although in the early 19th century a golden W was placed on the eagle.

Hupp showed the same composition as the present arms, but in the Imperial colours.
