Official blazon
In Blau eine silberne Burg mit Zinnenmauer und breitbedachtem, mit rotweißen Fähnchen bestecktem Turm; rechts vom Turm ein dreimal rotsilbern schräggeteilter Schild, links ein zugewendeter gesichtiger silberner Halbmond.
Origin/meaning
The arms show a city wall with gate flanked by a crescent and a small shield. The small shield probably replaced the sun, as sun and crescent are commonly used on medieval seals and refer to eternity (day and night). The small shield shows t he arms of the Lords of Schönburg, to whom the city belonged in the 14th century. The composition with the shield already appeared on the seal of 1576.
