The striped lion is the lion of the Counts of Thüringen, who ruled the Rothenburg and Kyffahusen castles in the municipality until the 14<sup>th</sup> century. They were succeeded by the Counts (later Princes) of Schwarzburg, from whose arms the golden lion is derived. The lions hold a canting stone (Stein=stone). The base is also a canting element, the chevron symbolises a valley (from Tal=valley). | The striped lion is the lion of the Counts of Thüringen, who ruled the Rothenburg and Kyffahusen castles in the municipality until the 14<sup>th</sup> century.
