Origin/meaning

The canting goat (Ziege) with an image of a city on it's back (Rücken=back) is a canting composition, which already appeared on the seal of the city known from 1403.

The composition has remained unchanged since. The colours of the small house, however have changed during the last century. In the early 20th century Hupp showed the house red with a blue roof; whereas Bensing in 1984 showed the house completely red.
