The city's [[motto]] is "''{{lang|de|München mag dich}}''" (Munich likes you). Before 2006, it was "Weltstadt mit Herz" (Cosmopolitan city with a heart). Its native name, ''{{lang|de|München}}'', is derived from the [[Old High German]] ''Munichen'', meaning "by the [[monk]]s' place". The city's name derives from the monks of the Benedictine order who founded the city; hence the monk depicted on [[Coat of arms of Munich|the city's coat of arms]]. Black and gold—the colours of the [[Holy Roman Empire]]—have been the city's official colours since the time of [[Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Ludwig the Bavarian]].
