The medieval White Tower in Nuremberg displays the arms of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and the arms of the town of Nuremberg.

Since 1138, the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire used a black eagle on a golden shield as imperial Coat of Arms in addition to their personal arms. Germany's Coat of Arms today are based on that shield.

The town of Nuremberg uses two arms. The "Minor Arms" (the back side of the city seal) have been used since 1350. The shield is vertically split. On the left (heraldic right) side, it shows a half of the Imperial Eagle on the right (heraldic left) side, it displays six diagonal red and white lines, derived from the frame of the arms of the Burgraviate of Nuremberg.

Today, the minor arms are the arms most commonly used as the Coat of Arms of the city of Nuremberg.

The Tower also displays a mirror image of these arms.
