Origin/meaning
The arms are canting, showing a pear (Birne) tree. The oldest known seal of the city dates from 1299 and already shows a pear tree.
A later 14th century seal also showed the tree. In the 15th century the city became a part of Bohemia, and on August 23, 1549 King Ferdinand I granted the arms with the lion of Bohemia under the tree. The complete arms as granted in 1549 also show the helmet and crest.
During the mid 20th century the city used the small arms as shown below, at present the large historical arms are used again.
