Origin/meaning
The arms show the canting boar (Eber), which has been used as a symbol for the town for many centuries. All seals since 1489 show the boar. The colours of the arms are known since 1535. The composition of the arms thus never changed, but the shape and position of the boar changed rather often. The present arms date from 1937 and are based on the oldest seal.
