Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 20, 1966, but are based on older seals.
The oldest known seal with the lamb dates from 1297. As arms the lamb is known since 1304. The colours are known since the end of the 14th century from the book of the St. Christophorus guild in Arlberg.
On November 13, 1928 new arms were granted, with in the upper half a city wall with gate on a grassy bottom and in the upper half the lamb. The old arms were restored in 1966.
