The arms show St. Mary and Christ under a Gothic gate. Saint Mary is the local patron saint and the composition already appeared on the oldest known seal of the city, known since the 14<sup>th</sup> century. All later seals showed the same composition. The use as arms dates from the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The basic composition did not change, but the colours have changed widely during the centuries, as can be seen from the image below dating from the late 19<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms show St. Mary and Christ under a Gothic gate.
