===Origin/meaning=== | |||
After the merger in 2015 it has been decided to continue the old arms of the [[Samtgemeinde Oberharz]] as the new arms for the city. These are historically the arms of the former [[Zellerfeld (kreis)|Zellerfeld District]]. | |||
After the merger of the two cities in 1924, new arms were granted in 1934. | |||

|} | |||
The arms are based on the old seal of Clausthal, which is known since 1556. The miner's tools indicate the importance of mining in the area, already in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. The lion is the lion of Welfen dynasty, as the area historically belonged to Hannover, ruled by the Welfen family. The cross and crucifixion-scene are canting; a small chapel is called Klause in German. | |||
The original arms of 1934 were slightly changed (removal of the green base) in 1955 to the present arms. | |||
