Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 2, 2000.

The arms show a canting linden tree, which was also used on the seal of the council in the early 20^th century. The base shows a blue wavy bend, which symbolises the Pulsnitz river. The chief and the colours are derived from the Oberlausitz region, to which the town historically belonged.
