In 1570, Bishop John IV gave the city a sandstone lion that holds the episcopal coat of arms in its claws. This lion is still part of the Oberkirchen city coat of arms today. Until 1864, the lion had its place on the market, opposite the archway on the church square. In 1895 the column with the lion was put back in front of the town hall. The original lion can be admired in the local museum.
