The arms are canting, an eagle (Adler/Arend) over a city (Burg). The combination already appears on seals from 1315. The eagle is often regarded as the eagle of Brandenburg, but during the last century the eagle was shown as the black Prussian eagle.

The arms on a municipal stamp (1892)	Seal from around 1900
The arms in the Wappen-Sammlung (1900)	The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
