The town was founded in the late 18<sup>th</sup> century by Friedrich der Grossen, on the territory of the former Zinna Abbey. The arms are first seen on the early 19<sup>th</sup> century seal of the town and already show the same figure. The figure most likely is the former goddess of the Wenden (original Germanic tribe in the area), Siwee, from which the name of the town allegedly was derived. The goddess was described in a source from 1492 as holding an apple and a bunch of grapes. | The town was founded in the late 18<sup>th</sup> century by Friedrich der Grossen, on the territory of the former Zinna Abbey.
