Object history
Deutsch: Das von Otto Hupp entworfene Wappen wurde am 4. Februar 1907 vom preußischen Innenministerium genehmigt und geht zurück auf das große Stadtsiegel aus dem 15. Jahrhundert. Es zeigt den Löwen der früheren Landesherrn der Grafen von Sayn welche dem Ort 1314 Stadtrechte verliehen. Die Darstellung des Wappens entspricht nicht der o.g. Satzung. Die Stadt zeigt auf ihrer Website einen rotgezungten Löwen sowie eine goldene Mauerkrone mit silbernem Tor.
English: The arms were granted on February 4, 1907 and based on a seal from the 15th century. They show the lion of the Counts of Sayn.
