Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 5, 1888.

The oldest seal of the city dates from the early 15th century and shows a goose and a fox. The goose was taken from the arms of the Lords of Hürnheim-Katzenstein. The meaning of the fox is not known. The above arms first appear in the seal of 1562, but with the fox sitting. The first and fourth quarter show the arms of the Pappenheim family, who ruled the city in the 16th century.

In 1718 the city had become a possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach and the Pappenheim quarters were removed; the arms thus only showed a fox (no longer sitting). In 1888 the historical arms were restored. Still the city still used the old arms on local emergency money in 1921 (see below).
