Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The oldest seal of the town dates from the late 15th century and already shows the above arms. The arms are canting, the verb 'schnaitten' means to remove smaller branches from a tree. A 'Schnaitte' thus is a piece of tree without or with very small branches. All later seals and images show the same composition. The colours are known since 1812.
