Meaning:
The city was first mentioned in 1158. The arms are based on a city seal as displayed on the banner. It is assumed that the balls originally had been heraldic mounts and the castle had been a moated castle.

The arms are in use since the 16th century. Banner and arms were confirmed by §§2(2) and (1) of the local Hauptsatzung, version 22 May 2015. §2(2) doesn´t say clearly, whether the banner is plain or contains the seal.
