German | In Silber eine Frauengestalt im blauen Gewand, die Rechte auf einen Silberschild mit durchgehendem schwarzem Hochkreuz gestützt, mit der Linken einem zu ihren Füßen auf dem Rücken liegenden grünen Drachen einen schwarzen Kreuzstab in den Rachen stoßend.
Origin/meaningThe arms are already known since the 13th century for the city. The arms show the local patron saint, St. Margareth, killing the dragon. The original arms showed the saint facing the other direction, in the 17th century the present arms appeared. The small shield shows the cross of the Fulda Abbey, as the city was first a loan of the Fulda Abbey and from 1326-1806 it was a possession of the Abbey.
