===Origin/meaning===
The arms were granted on May 10, 1614 by Margrave Joachim Ernst of Brandenburg-Ansbach, but as two separate shields under the crest of the hohenzollern family (a dog).  


====Official blazon====
The quartered shield is the arms of the Margraves of Nürnberg, from the Hohenzollern dynasty. The other shield shows a wavy bend as a canting symbol for the town, Bach means stream. The original description shows a green bend in red, which was later changed to the more correct silver. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century a letter W was often placed on the bend. In 1819 the two shields were combined to the present arms and the W disappeared.
