Origin/meaning

The arms were adopted on June 3, 1992 with a golden crown. Already on October 24, 2001 the arms were officially granted, but without the crown.

The lion in the first quarter is taken form the arms of the Lords von Löwendal. The man in the second field is a colonist and is a canting element for the Counts of Einsiedel (Einsiedeln is colonising), who owned the village in the late 18th century and who started the industrialisation of the area. The wheat-ears symbolise the agriculture. The lower half shows an iron-hammer (German: Pochwerk) , used to grind the iron ore. It symbolises the steel industry.

The previous arms were granted in 1953.

These arms show a hammer and briquette, symbolising the industry in the city. The red circle symbolises the concentration of workers in the former Red County (Roten Ländchen). The colours were also the coulours of the GDR.
