Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted to the city by Emperor Maximilian I in 1497. The two crossed keys, the symbol of St. Peter, however, are used by the city since at least 1338. The oldest seal shows two crosiers, symbolising the Bishops of Basel, as the city was granted city rights in 1312 by Bishop Gerhard of Basel. In a later seal the city arms appear.

The arms of the district of La Neuveville District are based on the arms of the city , with the exception that the colour of the mountain is made green.
