Origin/meaning
The town developed rapidly around the local bath and spa. Since 1810 the town uses a fountain in its seals. On May 16, 1871 the arms were granted by King Ludwig II, the fountain placed in a temple, as the main source is named the Tempelquelle. In 1953 the letter R was added to the arms. The R stands for the radium in the water, which is characteristic for the baths. The colours are the Bavarian colours, as no historical colours were known.
 Seal from 1944 with the arms. |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
