District (Kreis) : Greiz

Official blazon

Halbgeteilt und gespalten von Silber, Rot und Schwarz; vorn ober ein rotes sechsspeichiges Rad; vorn unten eine goldene Haselnuss; hinten auf silbernem Berg ein goldener Turm.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 21, 1995.

The wheel symbolises the fact that the village developed on a junction of trade routes. The hazel nut is a canting symbol for the village of Haselbach and is taken from the old seal of this village. The tower is the local Bismarckturm, which stands in the municipality and which also appeared on the old seal of the village of Reust.
