Origin/meaning

The arms date from the 16th century, and are first seen on the seal of the city from 1552. The seal showed two naked savages holding the arms on a rope between them. Smaller seals only showed the arms. The horn in the arms is canting, the meaning of the trunk is not clear.

The city also uses another shield :
