The arms show a canting bear (Bär) wearing the arms of the Kings of Bayern (quartered the lion of the Pfalz (Palatinate) and the diamonds of Bayern). The bear stands on a green meadow, also a canting element (Au). The composition of bear with Bayern already appears on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1405. | The arms show a canting bear (Bär) wearing the arms of the Kings of Bayern (quartered the lion of the Pfalz (Palatinate) and the diamonds of Bayern).
