Origin/meaning

The oldest seal of the city dates from the 14th century and shows the local patron saint St. Bonifatius, with a small shield with the arms of Fulda (black cross), as the city was part of the State of Fulda. In the 19th century the local seals showed a plough iron and a staff of Mercury, symbolising agriculture and trade. In 1900 the above arms were designed, based on the oldest seal, in which the saint was replaced by a crosier and in the base a fountain as symbol for the health resort was added.
