The arms show the quartered shield of the Counts of Castell, who ruled the town in the 13th and 14<sup>th</sup> century. Later the area became a possession of the Hohenzollern family, who used a black and silver quartered shield. The use of the arms is known from the 16<sup>th</sup> century. The arms at the time showed a wavy bar in the base of the arms (for the Main river) and an angel as supporter behind the shield. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century these elements were removed. | The arms show the quartered shield of the Counts of Castell, who ruled the town in the 13th and 14<sup>th</sup> century.
