Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 27, 2006.

The lily on the square is based on the watermark of the former Altdöbern paper mill. The colurs are those of the Köckritz family, lords of the village from 1362-1507. The other half shows the arms of the Von Heinecken family.

In 1938 there was a first competition to find a coat of arms. The local council decided on a design that depicts a moated castle, a hammer and a ploughshare, but was never approved or used.
