Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1898.
The arms combine the arms of Austria with the waves symbolising the Grosse Wiese river. Zell was an Austrian possession for many centuries until 1803.
The city was ruled by the Lords of Schönau as vassals. The oldest seal dates from 1671 and thus shows the arms of Austria, with the crest of the Lords of Schönau. The latter disappeared in the early 20th th century and in 1898 the waves were added.
