The town became a possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in 1665 and the oldest seal dates from the same time. It showed already the above arms, which are a combination of the eagle of Brandenburg and the quartered shield of the Hohenzollern family, Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth. The arms remained unchanged until the 19<sup>th</sup> century, when the city became part of Bayern. The black quarteres were changed into blue (the Bavarian colours) and the eagle was made black. During the 19<sup>th</sup> century different colours were used for the eagle and quartering, but the historical colours were restored in the early 20<sup>th</sup> century. | The town became a possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Bayreuth in 1665 and the oldest seal dates from the same time.
