Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1903 and 1969 but are based on the oldest seal of the town, dating from the 14th century.
All later seals have shown a miner, as the town historically was a typical mining town. The shape of the miner has differed widely during the centuries. The present image is based directly on the oldest seal. The colours are chosen arbitrarily.
The seals of the city:
Seal from 1341-1699
Seal from the 19th century
Seal from the 19th century
