Origin/meaning
The arms show the lion of Meissen. The city was a major center in the area of the Margraves of Meissen and Thüringen in the Middle Ages.
The oldest seals, dating from the 15th and 16th century show quartered arms with the lions of Meissen and Thüringen. Since the early 17th century only the lion of Meissen is still present. The colours are known since 1609 and are identical to Meissen. In a small seal from the early 18th century the lion is standing on a (canting) mountain, but this was again removed. The arms have thus not changed since the 17th century.
Hupp showed in the 1920s the arms with a normal lion, instead of the correct double-tailed lion of Meissen (see image below).

 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
