The arms of the city (German name Friedeberg am Queis) show an eagle catching a bird (duck ?) and standing on a hill and surrounded by flowers. The meaning of the arms is not known, the german name means peace-hill, which is actually opposite the composition of the arms. The image is known since the 17<sup>th</sup> century. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century a small cross was added, which was removed after 1945 and restored in the 1980s. | The arms of the city (German name Friedeberg am Queis) show an eagle catching a bird (duck ?) and standing on a hill and surrounded by flowers.
