Nabburg Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, over waves Argent charged with a fish Azure a castle Argent with embattled wall, a broad tower in centre, flanked by two towers of the same with cone roofs.
Meaning:
Seal prints existed since 1314. Until the 4th seal all prints displayed a castle with three towers with open gate over a base wavy. The ensemble is canting, displaying a castle (German: Burg) and the waves as representation of the name giving Naab River. The fish was added in the seal from 1547. Since the 16th century there exist coloured paintings. By the cords of the seal we can conclude, that the tinctures always had been red, blue and white.
