Origin/meaning
The oldest seal of the city dates from 1300 and already showed the two candles and a mountain, which are a canting symbol (lights-mountain). All later seals and images until 1962 show the same composition of candles and mountain, see the image of Hupp (1920s) below.
In 1962 the lion was added. It is derived from the arms of the Counts of Andechs-Meranien, who granted the city rights in 1231.
