The village was enlarged by King Rudolf I of Habsburg and received city rights around 1245. The oldest seal is known from 1277, but may be a little older. The seal shows already a forester, or Waldhüter (forest-keeper), making it a canting symbol. The figure was used on seals, but not on arms. | The village was enlarged by King Rudolf I of Habsburg and received city rights around 1245.
