Description of coat of arms:
In a red shield are three golden (=yellow) short swords, so called "sahs", pointing to the top edge above a golden (=yellow) mountain with three peaks. The Saxons derive their name from that type of sword. The shield is a symbol of the name of the city, which means "mountain of the Saxons".
