Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
EICHSFELD (EIC)
State : Thüringen
Additions : 1994 Heiligenstadt, Worbis
Origin/meaning
The arms were initially granted in 1991 to the former Worbis District and continued after 1994.
The arms show the eagle of Brandenburg with the wheel of the State of Mainz on its breast. A large part of the district belonged from the 9th century until 1802 to the State of Mainz. After 1802 the area belonged to the Prussian province of Brandenburg.
The combination of the two symbols was first mentioned in 1817, when the arms were added to the great arms of the Kings of Prussia as the 32nd field (of 48).
Literature : Wappen und Siegel der Städte und Gemeinden des Landkreises Eichsfeld. Kultur und Sportamt des Landkreises Eichsfeld, Eichsfeld, 1997.
