Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 11, 1620 by Emperor Ferdinand II.
The shield with the bars is taken from the arms of the Pollheim family, the most important of the local noble families. The escutcheon is a very strange device. In German an escutcheon is a Herzschild, or heart-shield. It is taken a bit too literally in these arms !
The G is the initial of Lord Gundaker of Pollheim, who applied for the town rights in 1620. The arms were granted at the same time as the town rights.
