Official blazon
German	In Silber ein steigender roter Wolf.
English	Silver, a wolf rampant Gules.

Origin/meaning

The arms show the wolf, taken from the arms of the Bishops and the State of Passau. The oldest known seals of the city date from the 14^th century and show St. Stephanus sitting on a throne. In front of him there is a small shield with the wolf.

From 1460 onwards the wolf is used as a single symbol on seals and in the arms of the city. The first time the wolf is mentioned as the arms of the city is older, from 1402. In the Roll of Arms from Arlberg the arms are shown as they are today.

In the 16^th century a helmet and crest were added. The crest shows an arm holding a stone, the symbol of St. Stephanus. These are not very often used.

Similarly, to distinguish the arms of city and diocese, in 1605 a blue bend was added to the city arms, but this addition was soon after removed again. Still, even in 1910 an image with the bend appeared.

Although the arms thus basically never changed, the shape of the wolf has varied considerably, as can be seen from the images below.
