The oldest known use of arms of the city dates from 1459 and these are seen cast in one of the bells of the cathedral. It shows again a castle, but the hands are now reduced to two, one on each side of the castle, and are not placed on flags anymore. The combination of castle and two hands has not changed ever since, however, the position of the hands has changed from above, besides and from the castle. The colours are also known since 1459 and have not changed since, with the exception of some different colour compositions in (foreign) rolls of arms. See images below. | The oldest known use of arms of the city dates from 1459 and these are seen cast in one of the bells of the cathedral.
