====Origin/meaning====
===Origin/meaning===
The arms show in the first and fourth quarter the silver lion of [[Bohemia]], as Zittau received city rights and royal rank of the Kings of Bohemia in 1255. From 1320-1347 the city was a possession of the Dukes of Jauer, a branch of the Dukes of Silezia, hence the eagle of [[Duchy of Lower Silezia|Silezia]] in the second and third quarter.
