The arms show a man's head of unknown origin. It has been stated that the head is the head of Christ, a Hun or a Marshal of Pappenheim.

Finally, around 1460 the head was made black and has been so ever since. The crown also re-appeared. Finally, the colours changed regularly, but were determined in 1818 as they are now. | The arms show a man's head of unknown origin.
