In Silber eine hohe rote Zinnenmauer mit sieben verschieden gestalteten Türmen dahinter, an der Torstelle ein gevierter goldener Schild; 1 und 4: auf grünem Dreiberg eine schwarze Henne; 2 und 3: geteilt: oben ein wachsender schwarzer Doppeladler, unten geschacht von Silber und Rot.
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the second seal of the city, dating from the 15th century. The arms show a seven-towered wall with in the front the arms of the Counts of Henneberg, to which the city belonged for many centuries. The oldest seal, dating from 1341, shows a tree between two small hills with the rooster of Henneberg.
