The city rights were granted in 1938. The plate in the middle of the arms is the symbol if St. John, the patron saint of the local church, which is first mentioned in 1258. The arms were first used by Bishop Eberhard von Holle in 1581. | The arms were officially granted in 1885, but were first used around 1581.
