Origin/meaning

The arms already appear on the oldest seal of the city, dating from 1336. The roses are derived from the arms of the Counts of Riedenburg. The arms basically have not changed since, except for the colours. The shield has been silver, black and green during the centuries. The bend also changed colours regularly. The present colours are unchanged since the 19th century and are derived from coloured images in the Heidelberg Roll of Arms, dating from 1295/1300.
