Origin/meaning
The oldest use of arms by the town dates from 1587 on a stone decoration. The arms showed only a horseshoe. In the early 18th century the town used a seal with the present combination of horseshoe and oak tree. The present arms were officially granted in 1937 and were based on this seal.
