The arms were officially granted on September 11, 1560 by Duke Albrecht of Bayern.
The point is a symbol for the geographical situation of the town in a valley and is also a canting element (Zwiesel means a kind of valley). The meaning of the knight is not known. The small shield shows the imperial eagle and the diamonds of Bayern. The arms have never changed, although the size and shape of the knight has varied widely during the centuries.
