The arms are of typical medieval design, showing a gate with two towers and the arms of the local lord, in this case the arms of the Counts of [[Henneberg]]. The city became a possession of the counts in the 12<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal dates from 1561 and shows the same composition. The combination most likely is older, dating from the 13th or 14<sup>th</sup> century, but no seals from that time still exist. | The arms are of typical medieval design, showing a gate with two towers and the arms of the local lord, in this case the arms of the Counts of [[Henneberg]].
