Origin/meaning

The arms of the city (German name Kotzenau) show a city wall with two towers; between the towers two water lily branches. The town was founded in 1703 by Catherina von Stosch, received city rights in 1713 and became a possession of Count Gottlob von Redern in 1722. The two water lily leaves are derived from the arms of Von Stosch (?), but in the 19th and early 20^th century the city used a wheel, for Von Redern (Rad=wheel).
