The bull's head already appears on the oldest known seal, dating from the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The next seals also show the head. On a seal dating from the end of the 16<sup>th</sup> century there is a flower between the horns. The stars appear first as crosses in a seal dating from 1593. Not until the middle of the 19<sup>th</sup> century the stars replace the crosses. After 1945 the stars were again replaced by the rose. | The bull's head already appears on the oldest known seal, dating from the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The next seals also show the head.
