Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 14, 1931, but date from medieval times.

The arms are based on the medieval seal of the city, which showed a very typical design of the time; a city wall with three (church) towers.

In many armorials from the 15th-17th century the arms of the State of Salzburg are shown for the city. When this is the case the arms are shown here.
