Origin/meaning

The arms show a canting block (Ram). This symbol was already used in the oldest seal of the city dating from the 14^th century. The symbol never changed during the centuries, although it started to look more like a big bell than a ram. When the cross was added is not clear.

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

Literature:Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
