Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on March 21, 1956.
The arms show in the right half the quartered shield of the Hohenzollern dynasty, which ruled the town from the 13th century until 1680. The left part shows the two chequered bars of the Von Wetzhausen family, who ruled the city as vassals from 1433-1592, the longest of all families appointed as vassals.
