Origin/meaning

The image of the arm-less person first appears on a seal dating from 1496. The figure and the colours are most likely derived from the arms of the Lords (later Counts) of Lupfen, who founded the city in 1262 and who ruled the city until the 16^th century. The figure itself is derived from a local legend related to the Lords of Lupfen.

The arms were officially described and granted in 1952 and were not changed after the addition of many municipalities in the 1970s.
