The three rings in the arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Neipperg, who ruled the city for a long time. The rings already appear on the oldest known seal of the city, known since the late 15<sup>th</sup> century. The supporter is St. John Baptist, the local patron saint. All later seals show the same composition, but the supporter is not always used. | The three rings in the arms are derived from the arms of the Lords of Neipperg, who ruled the city for a long time.
