Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
SCHRAPLAU
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
District (Kreis) : Saalekreis (until 2007 Merseburg-Querfurt (until 1994 Querfurt))
Verbandsgemeinde : Weida-Land
Origin/meaning
The arms show a Roman knight with the head of St. John Baptist, the local patron saint. The tower probably refers to the local castle.
In a document from 1610 it is already stated that the seal of the city uses the knight holding the head for at least 100 years, but historical seals do no longer exist.
