Origin/meaning

The arms are canting, showing a swallow (Schwalbe) and a river (Bach).

The arms were (re-)designed in 1905 and granted in 1906. However, the design is actually much older; the oldest known use of a swallow and river dates from the early 16th century.

The oldest known seal dates from 1514 and shows the shield in front of a throne with the H. Mary and Child. Similar designs were shown on two later seals, from 1648 and 1736. In the 19th century seals in most cases the shield is shown without the patron saint of the town. The design was also used in many ornaments in the city as well as in (official) paperwork and books. The first use of the colours dates from the 17th century, where the shield is silver, the swallow black and the bend blue. In the 19th century the above colours became the most widely used combination. The swallow was nearly always shown silver, only in the early 20th century it became golden.

Hupp also showed the swallow still in natural colours im the 1920s, see image below.
