Origin/meaning

The arms are already seen on the oldest known seal of the city, which dates from the first half of the 14^th century. The arms show the lion of the State of Bamberg rising from the Vils river. The city was ruled by the Bishops of Bamberg. The crown on the lion was added in the 15^th century and the arms have not really changed since.
