Origin/meaning

The oldest known seal of the town dates from 1563 and already shows the, still unexplained, symbol in a shield. All later seals show the same symbol, which were officially described in 1901 as a wagon-axis with two turned wheels. The colours were chosen arbitrarily, as no historical colours were known.
