Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 8, 1992.

The two villages in the municipality are represented by the second and third quarter. The trees in the second quarter symbolise Braunichswalde, as -walde means forest. In the village is a large beech tree with two trunks, which was chosen as the symbol. The singing bird in the third quarter is canting for the village of Vogelgesang (which means the song of a bird). The two other quarters refer to the local building tradition, using the locally quarried Grünstein (green stone).
