Origin/meaning

The arms are canting, showing a cloak (Mantel in German). The oldest known seal dates from the late 16^th century and already shows the cloak. All later seals and arms show a cloak, even though the shape and size differed widely. The colours are known since 1811 and have not changed since.

The municipal stamp shown in 1892

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

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
