Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 24, 1956.
The arms are a combination of the panther of the Spanheim family and the diamonds of Bayern. The Counts of Spanheim founded the city in 1206, but already in 1241 the city became part of Bayern. The combination first appears in the seal from 1434, and the arms have basically not changed since. The only difference is that from the 16th century until 1956 the panther was officially described as a lion, from 1830 as a crowned lion, see below.
When the present arms were granted in 1956 the panther was restored. Presently the city uses an angel behind the shield as supporter. This angel is not officially granted.
