The arms were officially granted on ? and are continued by Großräschen.

The miner's tools indicate the importance of mining and industry in the history of Großräschen. The rake is a canting element (Räschen = Rechen, meaning rake) and is taken from the historical seal of the village. Both elements were already part of the arms of Großräschen.
