The arms show a canting block (Ram). This symbol was already used in the oldest seal of the city dating from the 14<sup>th</sup> century. The symbol never changed during the centuries, although it started to look more like a big bell than a ram. When the cross was added is not clear. | The arms show a canting block (Ram).
