Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the newest seals of the city and show a canting swallow (Schwalbe) above the rose of Lippe. The oldest seals of the city showed a city with in the gate a 8-pointed star, taken from the arms of the Counts of Sternberg, who at the time ruled the area.
In 1780 totally different arms were shown, see below.
