The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city from 1565, but which probably was made in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. It is not known if older seals have existed. The first seal shows a sitting man, holding an orb and scepter, obviously a King or Emperor. In later seals the figure was shown standing, and in 1692 the figure was mentioned in the Bamberger Vasallentafel as Emperor Heinrich II of Bayern (King in 1002 and Emperor in 1014). Why he was taken as the symbol of the city is unknown; during his reign civic seals were not in use and arms were not adopted until the end of the 12<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city from 1565, but which probably was made in the 15<sup>th</sup> century.

The arms were used in the 19th century with a blue field, as shown below by Hupp in the 1920s. In 1951 the (historical) colours were restored. | The arms were used in the 19th century with a blue field, as shown below by [[Otto Hupp|Hupp]] in the 1920s.
