Before the late 13th century the town already used a banner with a red ball on a silver field. This was a similar design as [[Lenzburg]] as in the 10-11th century the area was part of the Counts of Lenzburg. From 1512 onwards the colours were reversed, a silver ball on a red field.In the 16th century this composition was also used as arms, so the city used the arms with the Austrian-Habsburg shield as well as the shield with the silver ball at the same time. | |||
Later only the arms with the silver ball were used. In the 19th century also held by two lion supporters. | |||
In 1935 the town council decided to re-install the arms from the 13th century seal. | |||
