Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on March 31, 1976.

The tree is a canting element, Telge means a young oak tree. The tree already appeared on the oldest seal of the city, dating from 1255. Until the late 17^th century all images and seals showed an oak tree with some acorns. The latter were removed in the late 18^th century, as a young oak tree was not supposed to have acorns already. In the mid 19^th century the acorns were restored.
