====Origin/meaning==== | |||
The arms of Neulerchenfeld ("New Lark Field") combine both popular interpretations of the origin of the name: "Lerche" (lark) and "Lärche" (larch) do not only sound alike, the name is attributed either to the Court catching larks in this area or to a forest of larches between today's 8th and 16th districts. Neither theory is proven; anyway, the arms show both the three golden larks and a golden tree (the species is not defined). | The arms of Neulerchenfeld ("New Lark Field") combine both popular interpretations of the origin of the name: "Lerche" (lark) and "Lärche" (larch) do not only sound alike, the name is attributed either to the Court catching larks in this area or to a forest of larches between today's 8th and 16th districts.
