Origin/meaning
The arms show a boar, which is derived from the word Vor, or a lean piglet. The boar probably was used ad a symbol for the city already in the 15th century, but the oldest known seal dates from the 17th century. The seal showed the boar on a filed (Felde) and the arms thus have not changed since.
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
