The arms first appear in the seals of the mid 14<sup>th</sup> century. The arms are most likely derived from the arms of the Güss von Güssenberg family, who owned the village from the end of the 13<sup>th</sup> century, and who arranged the granting of the city rights in 1330 from Ludwig of Bayern. The oldest seal, however, showed only one star, to distinguish the arms from those of the family. Only in the 19<sup>th</sup> century the two other stars were added. | The arms first appear in the seals of the mid 14<sup>th</sup> century.
