Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 24, 1928 and again on July 7, 1993.

The arms combine elements of the arms of the two former rulers in the region; the deer antler for the Forst Estate, taken from the arms of the Lords of Biberstein, and the silver chevron for the Pförten Estate taken from the arms of the Counts von Brühl . The hammers and chalice represent the mining and glass industry in the city.

Seal from around 1900	The arms prior to 1993 (with the miner's tools fully silver)
Postal cancellation 1977
