Origin/meaning

The blye colour symbolises water and air while the silver base is taken from the arms of the Bechyňové z Lažan family (three red fish on a silver field), who owned the town from 1600 until 1892. The red chief is a reference to the former village Jahodov ("Strawberryville"), annexed into Rozsochated. The four linden leaves in chief refer to the 400 year old linden trees located in the town.
