Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on October 4, 1995.

The black lion in the upper half is taken from the arms of the counts of Orlamünde and Meissen, who in historical times ruled the area. The wavy bar symbolises the Gölitz river in the municipality. The miner's tools symbolise the mining that used to be of great local importance. The wheel symbolises the position on the main trade routes to Nürnberg.
