1312 erschienen erstmals die "Wangen"-Köpfe im Schildhaupt des Stadtwappens.
Der halbe Adler auf silberenen Feld deutet auf auf die ehemalige Reichunmittelbarkeit hin.
Die herkunft der Lilie im Stadtwappen ist nicht gesichert.
Wahrscheinlich ist die Lilie wie andersorten als altes Zeichen des Gerichts - und Friedensbann zu verstehen.
