The arms date from the 17<sup>th</sup> century, when they appear on the local seals. The arms were also shown as above by [[Otto Hupp|Hupp]] in the 1920s. The chevrons are derived from the arms of the Lords of Herbsleben and Gebesee, vassals of the Counts of Henneberg, who owned the area. The deer is probably originally a dog, as the oldest Lords of Herbsleben, the Lords of Wangenheim, used a dog as their arms in the 14<sup>th</sup> century.
