Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1567 by the Counts of Oettingen-Wallerstein. In any case, the first seal of the town dates from the same time and shows an angel holding the arms.

The meaning of the arms is unknown. The colours are known since 1811. The arms were granted again in 1835.


The arms in Kramer (1841)

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
