The oldest seal of the city dates from 1382 and shows in the upper half a lion and in the lower a fish. The lion is the lion of Bohemia, as the city at the time was a possession of the Kings of Bohemia. The fish is likely a symbol for the latter part of the name; Bach means stream. | The oldest seal of the city dates from 1382 and shows in the upper half a lion and in the lower a fish.
