Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 1, 1899.

The composition already appears on the seals of the city from 1227 and show the city itself, with a small shield of the Margraviate of Meissen, in which the city was situated at the time. The small shield showed different arms from 1227-1305, i.e. a divided shield with in one half three pales and in the other the lion (see also Leipzig and Chemnitz), which were the arms of the Margraviate at the time.
