The frog probably indicates the position of the town in the moors in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The arms are supposed to have been granted in the middle of the 15<sup>th</sup> century, but the document got lost in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest known seal dates from 1514 and already shows the frog as the sole symbol. All later seals and arms show the frog. Only in the 19<sup>th</sup> century the field was sometimes shown red (see arms as shown by Hupp in the 1920s), but otherwise the colours have been as they are now. | The frog probably indicates the position of the town in the moors in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
