KIRCHENLAMITZ
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Wunsiedel
Additions : 1978 Dörflas bei Kirchenlamitz, Niederlamitz, Raumetengrün (partly), Reicholdsgrün (partly)
Official blazon
Gespalten; vorne geviert von Silber und Schwarz; hinten in Blau auf einem mit einem silbernen Wellenbalken belegten grünen Hügel eine eintürmige silberne Kirche in Seitenansicht mit roten Dächern und goldenen Kreuzen.
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city. The seal dates from around 1380 and shows the local church of St. Michael on a hill, and the quartered shield of the Vicounts of Nürnberg from the Hohenzollern dynasty in the left half. Later seals added the waves in the hill below the church. This symbolises the Lamnitz river. Again later the two halves were exchanged, the quartered shield in the right and the church in the left half. The colours are known since 1582. The present arms, which were granted in 1931 are thus identical to the last seals and the colours from 1581.
In 1819 the colours of the arms were changed, when the city became part of Bayern. The black and white quarters were changed into blue and white (the colours of Bayern) and the church became silver on a golden field. In addition to this, in 1837 a man's head was added in the base of the shield. This was due to a misinterpretation of a decoration in a seal from 1611. These arms were used until 1937.
