Origin/meaning
The arms show a canting block (Ram). This symbol was already used in the oldest seal of the city dating from the 14th century. The symbol never changed during the centuries, although it started to look more like a big bell than a ram. When the cross was added is not clear.
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
