Origin/meaning
The shield shoes the arms of the Counts of Hohenstein, to which the area belonged at the time. These arms already appeared on the 14th century seal of the city. The two herrings are a canting symbol for the city and appear only later in the arms.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
