Origin/meaning

The arms are already seen on the oldest known seal of the town, which dates from the early 18th century. The arms were officially adopted in 1914, the colours were chosen arbitrarily. The roses most likely are derived from the arms of the Counts of Wertheim, who ruled the town in medieval times.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
