The oldest form of the city coat of arms dates from 1592. It shows three towers, the middle one is higher, tapered towards the top and has a pointed roof with a roof core and a window on the lower and upper floors. The two side towers are slimmer, have no windows and also have a pointed roof with a roof core. The lake is indicated in the foreground. The colors are unknown.

In a later form, the coat of arms shows three square towers in silver, each with a high round gate, with a protruding crenellated cross, each with three pinnacles on a shield signed in red. The central tower with the inserted hipped roof is one battlement width higher, and the arched gate is also elevated. The side towers have inserted high pointed roofs. The market colors were silver (white) and red.
The more recent form of the coat of arms from the last century shows again three towers with drawn, irregular cuboids. All towers are strongly tapered towards the top, the side towers more than the central tower. The towers have tent roofs attached to the battlements. The central tower has a round gate, the other two are rectangular. Each tower has a pair of windows on the upper floor, these are inclined in the side towers. The colors remained: the coat of arms silver, coat of arms shield red. The coat of arms document is unknown. Since the city elevation in 1926, Neusiedl am See has had green and white as the city colors. |
