STEINWIESEN
State : Bayern
District (Kreis) : Kronach
Additions : 1978 Birnbaum, Neufang, Nurn
Official blazon
Gespalten und vorne geteilt von Grün und Silber; oben ein silberner Steinblock, unten ein roter Schrägwellenbalken; hinten in Gold ein mit einer silbernen Schrägleiste überdeckter, rot bewehrter schwarzer Löwe.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 26, 1937.
Even though the village was mentioned in 1323, no historical seals or arms are known. The oldest seal dates from the late 18th century and shows some stones in a meadow, making it a canting image (Stein=stone, Wiese=meadow). This image was used until 1937 when the present arms were devised and granted. The arms show in the upper right quarter the canting stone, and in the lower quarter the Rodach river. The lion is the lion of the Bishops of Bamberg, as most of the area belonged to the State of Bamberg until 1802.
