The arms were probably devised in 1662 by the emperor and king of Bohemia Leopold I, when the city rights were granted. The arms show St. George, killing the dragon.

The current colours date from 1993. | The arms were probably devised in 1662 by the emperor and king of Bohemia Leopold I, when the city rights were granted.
