The oldest coloured images of the arms date from the middle of the 16th century. At the time the panther had moved to the other half of the shield and the colour of the panther was black. The original colours of Niederbayern were a red panther in silver. It is not known whether the city ever used these colours, or that the colours were already black on gold prior to the 16th century. | The oldest coloured images of the arms date from the middle of the 16th century.

Sometimes the arms were shown with a griffin instead of a panther. These arms most likely were used for the area around the city, which was sometimes referred to as the County Reichenhall. The Counts of Peilstein ruled this area and their arms also showed a panther (see [[Karlstein]], but this panther was also often shown as a griffin (see [[Freystadt]]). | Sometimes the arms were shown with a griffin instead of a panther.
