Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on December 15, 1950 and confirmed on August 7, 1996.
The saint in the arms shows a bishop for either St. Bonifatius, the patron saint of the Fulda Abbey to which the town belonged in medieval times, or St. Vitus, the patron saint of the town. St. Bonifatius already appeared on the seal of the city in 1292, but was in the 17th century replaced by St. Vitus. The bridge is the bridge over the Werra, built in 1342. The other symbols represent agriculture and industry.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
