A large number of seals are known for the city. The oldest seals of the city showed the local patron saint, St. Ursus. He initially holds a shield with a cross, but from the 15th century onwards he is gradually replaced by the arms of the city. Several seals were used at the same time period. | A large number of seals are known for the city. The oldest seals of the city showed the local patron saint, St. Ursus.

Until the early 18<sup>th</sup> century the arms were often shown besides the Imperial eagle, as the area was part of the Holy Roman Empire. In the late 18<sup>th</sup> century the power of the empire became less and less and the eagle was replaced by the ducal crown. The lions were added around the same time. | Until the early 18<sup>th</sup> century the arms were often shown besides the Imperial eagle, as the area was part of the Holy Roman Empire.
