Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 20, 1492 by Emperor Friedrich III.

The arms are canting, in the dialect. According to legend, the name of Hüttenberg was derived from "Hiat den Berg", guard the mountain (where the important iron ore was mined). So, the arms show a wall, a tower and a man brandishing a sword. Near Hüttenberg, the Heft valley was a core of smelting and working iron. The mine (Hüttenberger Erzberg) was only closed down in the 1970s.
