English	Azure, a wheel with six spokes Or.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially registered in 1991.

The original symbol for the city, dating from the early 14^th century, was a wheel with the head of Jesus in the middle. Between the spokes the Greek letters alpha and omega, a star and a crescent were placed. The smaller symbols disappear in the early 15^th century and from 1420 onwards only the wheel is used. The wheel has no special meaning, but the spokes form the letters I and X, Greek for Jesus Christ.
