As the canton was part of the Imperial German State, the arms were often showed as shown below, with two small arms under the Imperial arms and held by two lions as supporters. Even after 1648 when the Swiss cantons were no longer part of the German Empire, the arms still showed the imperial eagle. | As the canton was part of the Imperial German State, the arms were often showed as shown below, with two small arms under the Imperial arms and held by two lions as supporters.

The eagle finally disappeared in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The arms were now held by two lions, one holding a sword, the other a palm leaf. Sometimes only one lion is shown, holding a palm leaf. The present cantonal arms are officially without supporters, but the Canton uses often a modern version of the arms with the two lions. | The eagle finally disappeared in the 18<sup>th</sup> century.
