All seals after 1428 (when the city became a possession of the Dukes of Bayern), show the Paschal Lamb (a canting symbol, from Osterlamm) above a city wall. The composition as such did not change (except for a green base in some images), but the size and shape of the different elements has varied widely during the centuries.
