Official blazon
German	In Blau ein silberner Adler.
English	blazon wanted

Origin/meaning

The arms show the Imperial Eagle. The eagle already appears on the oldest coins of the city, which date from the middle of the 13^th century. The oldest seal, dating from around 1280, also shows the eagle, as do all 8 other historical seals of the city.

The colours on the other hand have changed regularly :
In the 15^th century silver in black, in 1608 mentioned as silver in violet, later black in gold. Since 1771 the present colours are commonly used. Why these colours are chosen is not known.
