| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| The arms show the head of St. Mauritius, the patron saint of the city. The arms first appear in the early 16<sup>th</sup> century, but it was already used as a symbol for the city on coins from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. The seals showed the arms of the rulers of the city, first the Counts of Henneberg and later the Counts of Meissen. The present image is practically unchanged since the 16<sup>th</sup> century.<br/> <table width="75%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
