Origin/meaning
The arms already appear on the oldest known seal of the town, which dates from the 15th century. All later seals show the same composition.
The lion is most likely the lion of Bohemia, as the town was ruled by the Kings of Bohemia until 1402. The bar is likely an element added to distinguish the arms from the arms of Bohemia.
