Origin/meaning

The arms show in the upper right half the black lion of the Counts of Meissen, as the town was a longtime possession of the counts. The upper left half shows the helmet and crest of the arms of the Counts of Meissen, the so-called Jew's Head, a male bearded head with a special hat. The crest dates to medieval times, the meaning is not known.

The base shows a church. The oldest seals of the city showed a church as the main symbol, with the two other elements as small figures above the church. The church has been described as a symbol of the diocese of Merseburg, to which the city belonged.

Until the middle of the 19th century the city used arms, based on the oldest seals. These arms were still shown by Hupp in the 1920s (see images below). In 1897 the present arms were officially granted.
