OHRDRUF
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Gotha
Official blazon
In Blau der silberne, golden nimbierte und gegürtete Erzengel Michael als Kniefigur mit erhobenem Schwert in der rechten und einer Waage mit goldenen Waagschalen in der linken Hand.
Origin/meaning
The arms show the local patron saint, St. Michael. Already in 725 St. Bonifatius founded a St. Michael chapel in the area, around which the city developed. Ever since seals are known for the city (16th century) the saint has been on the seals and arms.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
