In 1275 the city became an imperial city and the first seal dates from the same time. It shows a canting horn hanging on a canting beech (Buche). Above the tree the Imperial eagle was shown. In the 15<sup>th</sup> century the beech was flanked by two horns, still under the eagle. Also from the 15<sup>th</sup> century the oldest arms are known. These showed the beech and a horn side by side. In the early 17<sup>th</sup> century the shield was divided and the colours were defined. | In 1275 the city became an imperial city and the first seal dates from the same time.
