MELLENBACH-GLASBACH
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Saalfeld-Rudolstadt
Additions ; 1923 Blumenau, Mellenbach, Glasbach, Obstfelderschmiede
Official blazon
Unter goldenem Schildhaupt, darin ein blaues Wellenband, in Rot zwei einander zugewandte silberne Vögel auf einem silbernen Astbalken.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 25, 1993.
The chief shows a wavy bar, canting for the -bach part of both villages (Bach=stream, brook). The lower half shows two finches on a branch, and is derived from the local seal from the early 20th century. The meaning is not quite clear, but may be a symbol for the former hunting on small birds.
