Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1995.

Wolfen was a small agricultural village until the middle of the 19th century when industrialisation started with mainly chemical industry. In 1958 Wolfen became a city and on July 31, 1974 the city council adopted arms.

The arms should indicate the development from agriculture to industry. The first quarter indicates the chemical industry, the second agriculture and the fourth lignite mining. The third quarter symbolises the initial of the town as well as the production of colour film in the city (Agfacolor).

After the merger of 1993 the arms were slightly changed, as the colour combination was against the heraldic rule of colour and the letter W was replaced by a segment of film.
