GRAND-DUCHY OF SACHSEN-WEIMAR-EISENACH
German |
Origin/meaningSachsen-Weimar was a rather small Duchy until 1690, when it was combined with the Duchies Sachsen-Jena and in 1741 with Sachsen-Eisenach. This much larger and powerful Duchy was promoted to Grand-Ducy by the Vienna Congress in 1815. At the same time the new Grand-Duke received a large part of the Duchy of Sachsen for his help against Napoleon. Since 1903 the addition 'Weimar' was removed and the state became the Grand-Duchy of Sachsen (the old Sachsen was now a province of Prussia) until 1920 when it was incorporated in the new State of Thüringen The arms show in the first quarter the barred lion of Thüringen. Thüringen was ruled by the Dukes of Thüringen-Hessen until 1247 and since it has been part of Sachsen and most rulers over (parts of) Sachsen from the Wettin dynasty used the striped lion in their arms.
