The first known seal dates from 1234, but is probably made before 1220. It shows a bishop and an emperor, who hold a cathedral church above them. Between the two figures the city walls can be seen. Later grand-seals always show both a bishop, often depicted with a key, and an emperor. Smaller seals more often showed a key as a specific symbol for the city. The key is the key of St. Peter, the patron saint of the city. The key also appears on coins of the city from the 14<sup>th</sup> century onwards. It also appears on the arms of the city, on maps and stones throughout the city.The colours of the arms have always been red and white. The first supporters appear in the 16<sup>th</sup> century , two angels holding the shield. From 1568 they are replaced by two lions. In 1617 a helmet appeared on the shield. The helmet was never officially granted, but is still used on the great-arms of the city (see below). The crown appeared first in the late 16<sup>th</sup> century. | The first known seal dates from 1234, but is probably made before 1220.
