===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on October 15, 1968 | |||
Arzberg received city rights in 1408 and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1423. The seal showed, as did the second seal from 1516, a shield with a chequy bordure, and in the center a lion mining a mountain. The bordure and the lion are derived from the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, who owned the city at the time. The mountain is the Erzberg (ore-mountain) and thus a canting element. | |||
In the 17<sup>th</sup> century the bordure was removed from the seal. The colours of the lion and the shield also have changed often during the centuries. | |||
From the early 19<sup>th</sup> century until 1968 the arms were used in different colours, the historical colours were restored in 1968 and the arms were not changed after the mergers in the 1970s. | |||
