Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 14, 1993, but are known from 1487.
The tower is the Lubwartturm, a landmark of the city and the only remaining part of the medieval castle.
The meaning of the small shield with the hearts is not clear. Two main theories exist about them. The first is that the shield originally shoed the arms of the Brehma county, which were three water-lily leaves. Later these leaves were misinterpreted as hearts.
The second theory states that the hearts are taken from the arms of the Lord of Ileburg, who used three stars in their arms and were lords of the city in the 13th century (the castle and tower already existed by then). Like in the first theory, the stars were later misinterpreted as hearts.
