The arms were adopted in 1906 and granted in 1930. The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, dating from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century. The lion in the upper half is derived from the arms of the Counts of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Freudenberg, who acquired the city in 1611. The lower half shows a fish, as fishing in the Murr at the time was of importance for the town. | The arms were adopted in 1906 and granted in 1930.
