The oldest seal of the town dates from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows the above arms. The arms are canting, the verb 'schnaitten' means to remove smaller branches from a tree. A 'Schnaitte' thus is a piece of tree without or with very small branches. All later seals and images show the same composition. The colours are known since 1812. | The oldest seal of the town dates from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows the above arms.
