The origin and meaning of the arms is not really known. The oldest recorded use is only from 1731. The city seals before the 18th century all show a church building, the local cathedral. As the cathedral burnt down in 1702 it was probably not possible to have a proper representation of the cathedral on the new seal of the city.
