The arms date from the 17<sup>th</sup> century, when they appear on the local seals. The arms were also shown as above by [[Otto Hupp|Hupp]] in the 1920s. The chevrons are derived from the arms of the Lords of Herbsleben and Gebesee, vassals of the Counts of [[Henneberg]], who owned the area. The deer is probably originally a dog, as the oldest Lords of Herbsleben, the Lords of Wangenheim, used a dog as their arms in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. | The arms date from the 17<sup>th</sup> century, when they appear on the local seals.
