The oldest seal of the city dates from 1359 and shows a small house, a so called Kemenate, and thus a canting symbol. All small seals until the late 18<sup>th</sup> century only showed the house. Around 1430 a new great seal was made, which showed the house in the base and in the upper half the arms of Pfalz-Bayern (lion and diamonds), to indicate that the city was part of Bayern. As supporter a savage was used. These arms, including the supporter, were used until 1937, when the supporter was removed. | The oldest seal of the city dates from 1359 and shows a small house, a so called Kemenate, and thus a canting symbol.
