English: The arms of Innsbruck are canting, showing a bridge (Brücke) over the Inn river. The oldest known use of the arms dates from a seal of 1267. Both the bridge and the river were shown rather differntly than at present. The present composition is used since 1325. The colours are known since 1547 and the arms thus have never changed since.
Deutsch: Das Wappen ist ein redendes Wappen, es zeigt die alte Innbrücke von etwa 1150 ohne Brückenköpfe aus der Vogelperspektive. Die Spitzen bedeuten die Wellen- und Eisbrecher der Brückenpfeiler, das Muster deren Bauweise aus eingerammten Holzpfählen, der Bord die Verschalung und die Teilung des Balkens die Holzbeplankung der Brücke. Seit 1267 wird das Wappenbild für Stadtwappen und -siegel verwendet, in der heutigen Form seit 1325, mit den heutigen Farben seit 1547.
