Origin/meaning

The arms show a canting hare (Hase) on the quartered shield of the State of Würzburg. The oldest use of the combination dates from the 16^th century, when the shield appears in the seals of the city in the gate of a city view. The colours of the arms are known since 1544. The arms were officially granted in 1818, but with a quartered shield of green and silver. The original colours were later during the 19^th century restored.

The arms by Tyroff (1835)	Seal from around 1900
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
