===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on January 14, 1930, but were granted originally by Emperor Ferdinand I on February 24, 1529. | |||
The arms have no described colours. Currently the city uses the arms mainly as blue, see image below. | |||

The arms are based on the arms of the medieval Counts of Bregenz, who became extinct already in the 12<sup>th</sup> century. The choice of ermine indicated the importance of the counts at the time. | The arms are based on the arms of the medieval Counts of Bregenz, who became extinct already in the 12<sup>th</sup> century.
