The origin of the horseshoes is not known. It may be a canting symbol (Hufeisen = horseshoe), in any case it was used as the symbol of the village in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal of the town dates from the 15<sup>th</sup> century and was used until 1622. It showed a single horseshoe in a shield. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century the number was increased to three. The arms were granted in 1844 by King Ludwig I of Bayern in the colours of the Teutonic Order, who had some possessions in the town. The arms haven't changed since and the horseshoe is used as a symbol for the city in the arms of the district. | The origin of the horseshoes is not known.
