The arms show a canting Heiden (heathen), a symbol present already on the oldest seals of the city, known since 1486, but probably one century older. The colours are known since the roll of arms by Siebmacher (1605) and the present arms were granted in 1956. The shape of the head changed during the centuries, but the arms basically never changed. | The arms show a canting Heiden (heathen), a symbol present already on the oldest seals of the city, known since 1486, but probably one century older.
