Origin/meaning

The arms above are used, but have not officially been granted. The arms are canting, showing a castle (Burg) and on top of the shield a dragon (Drache, Drake). The arms are based on the oldest seal of the town, known from 1655.

In the Kaffee Hag albums of the early 20^th century totally different arms were shown:

These arms were a combination of the local castle and the bear's claw of the counts of Hoya, who ruled the city for a long time.
