Coat of arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield upon a green hill are two warriors in silver (=white) armour shaking hands. (I chose the tinctures of Stadler 1972, p.106 displaying one black bearded warrior and one blonde one)
Meaning:
According to source the image is symbolizing the cities name. Shaking hands means sealing an alliance (German: Bund).
