Additions : 1972 Ermenrod, Groß-Felda

Official blazon

In Gold ein roter blaugekrönter Jungfrauenadler, belegt mit einem Herzschild, darin in Silber ein schräggestellter blauer Schlägel, oben und unten schräglinks begleitet mit je zwei blauen Nägeln.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 4, 1984.

The eagle with female face (harpy) is taken from the arms of the Von Merlau and Von Felda families, who ruled the village for many years. The small shield shows a hammer and some nails, as historically a large part of the population was employed as nail-maker. It was the main economic activity in Gross-Felda in the 19^th century.
