Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 26, 1588 by Georg von Carlowitz, then ruler of the town, and confirmed on September 19, 1600 by Emperor Rudolf II.

If this text appears, it means that background information is available, but that I have not yet had the time to add the information on these arms. Just [|mail me with the name of the town in the subject !] and I will add all information that I have !
