Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1918.

The oldest seal of the city dates from the early 14^th century and already shows the three towers on a hill. The towers symbolise the local castle as well as the two towers in the city itself. The arms have not changed since, except for some variations in the size and shape of the towers. The arms were officially granted in 1918 and the colours were for the first time officially described.
