Origin/meaning
The arms are officially granted on May 26, 1978.
The arms are canting and show a fountain (Brunnen). The fountain already appears on the seals of the city dating from the 14th and 15th century. The colours and present shape were defined in 1812, but with three stars on the side. These were removed later during the 19th century and were finally restored in 1978.
