Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ? and are continued by Großräschen.
The miner's tools indicate the importance of mining and industry in the history of Großräschen. The rake is a canting element (Räschen = Rechen, meaning rake) and is taken from the historical seal of the village. Both elements were already part of the arms of Großräschen.
The beech branch is a symbol for the reforestation after the mining activities. The three horseshoes are taken from the arms of Freienhufen (hufe=hoove).
