The arms of the city (former German name Jauer) show the image of St. Martin cutting his cloak for a beggar. St. Martin is the patron saint of the city and appears already on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from aroun 1300. | The arms of the city (former German name Jauer) show the image of St. Martin cutting his cloak for a beggar.
