Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on May 10, 1614 by Margrave Joachim Ernst of Brandenburg-Ansbach, but as two separate shields under the crest of the hohenzollern family (a dog).

The quartered shield is the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, from the Hohenzollern dynasty. The other shield shows a wavy bend as a canting symbol for the town, Bach means stream. The original description shows a green bend in red, which was later changed to the more correct silver. In the 18th century a letter W was often placed on the bend. In 1819 the two shields were combined to the present arms and the W disappeared.
