The quartered shield is the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, from the Hohenzollern dynasty. The other shield shows a wavy bend as a canting symbol for the town, Bach means stream. The original description shows a green bend in red, which was later changed to the more correct silver. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century a letter W was often placed on the bend. In 1819 the two shields were combined to the present arms and the W disappeared. | The quartered shield is the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, from the Hohenzollern dynasty.
