Origin/meaning
The arms are canting; they show two swans (Schwanen) in front of a city (Stadt). The small shield is the arms of Adam, Count of Herberstorff, who acquired the town of Schwan on June 26, 1627. Within 6 weeks after acquiring the town, he managed to get city rights granted by Emperor Ferdinand II on August 11, 1627. The name then became Schwanenstadt and the city also got a new seal and arms. An image of the new seal and arms are shown below. The arms thus never changed afterwards.
The town of Schwan used a seal since the middle of the 16th century (images known from June 22, 1565) with a single swan in a shield. Whether the name Schwan/Schwancz has anything to do with swans is unlikely though. The animal was later used as a canting symbol.
