Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 11, 1939.
The arms show the Royal Chair of Gudingen. This was place where in medieval times the German Kings, or their vassals, held a court of justice. This was always done under a huge oak tree. The arms symbolise the chair, the royal crown and the oak tree.
Historically, the city used seals with the patron saint, St. James.
