German

In Blau eine durchgehende silberne Zinnenmauer mit zwei gezinnten, schwarz-befensterten, rot-bedachten und beknauften silbernen Türmen und einem spitzbogigen Tor mit hochgezogenem roten Fallgatter; zwischen den Türmen ein schwebender roter Schild belegt mit einem doppelt-geschwänzten, gold-bewehrten, -gezungten und –gekrönten silbernen Löwen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 2, 2003.

The arms are based on the old seals of the city. The arms symbolise the city itself and the small shield shows the lion of Bohemia, as the city for a time was owned by the Kings of Bohemia.
