Origin/meaning

The arms of the city (former German name Freiwaldau) show a tree trunk with a raven. The arms are identical to the 'Freiwaldauer Raths Sigel' (local seal of Freiwaldau) from 1800. The meaning of the arms is not clear, but the tree trunk can indicate the forest (Wald). An older seal of the city, known from 1633, shows a man holding a branch in his hands, on the shield a helmet with the man again as crest. The meaning of those arms is not known.
