The town developed around the castle of the Lords of Alpen and received city rights before 1330. The oldest seal of the town showed the a bishop (either the bishop of Köln or the local saint St. Ulrich) on a throne, with the present arms at his feet. The arms were also shown on some smaller seals of the city.
