===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The St. Andrew's cross already appears on the oldest seal of the city, known from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. The cross is derived from the arms of the Counts of Oettingen, who ruled the city in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. All later seals show the cross as the arms of the city. | The St. Andrew's cross already appears on the oldest seal of the city, known from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century.

The original colour is red, but in the early 19<sup>th</sup> century a blue field was used. This change of colour has two origins. First, on a 17<sup>th</sup> century seal the field was shown striped horizontally, probably just as a decoration. However, this is also the heraldic black and white code for blue, and thus in the early 19<sup>th</sup> century the field was made blue. It was an appropriate colour, as silver and blue are also the colours of Bayern. Later during the 19<sup>th</sup> century the original red colour was restored. | The original colour is red, but in the early 19<sup>th</sup> century a blue field was used.
