The arms are known from an 17th century seal of the city (city rights on August 7, 1687) and have a religious meaning, the Lord providing the strength for the development of the new city (symbolised by watering the tree). The seals also showed a legend : Durch Gottes reichen Segen und meiner obern Pflege. | The arms are known from an 17th century seal of the city (city rights on August 7, 1687) and have a religious meaning, the Lord providing the strength for the development of the new city (symbolised by watering the tree).

The composition only appears as city arms in the 19th century. The figure on the official images was seen by the Nazi government in 1937 as 'typical Jewish' and thus the composition had to be changed, at least the figure got more 'properly' dressed.
