The arms of the city show the local patron saint St. Michael. The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1297 and shows the arms of the Counts of Strelin (two lily-scepters and a star). In 1346 St. Michael appeared on the seals and since the 15<sup>th</sup> century he is often shown with a flute, sometimes with scales. The basic composition thus did not change, but the colours varied widely during the years. | The arms of the city show the local patron saint St. Michael.
