The arms show a city gate with two small shields; one with the chevrons of the Counts of Hanau, the other with the cross of the State of Fulda.

In the early 20<sup>th</sup> century the old composition was restored. <br/> | The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city, which is known since the 14<sup>th</sup> century.
