Official blazon
In Silber ein gezinnter blauer Turm mit spitzem goldbeknauften roten Dach und offenem Tor, über dem Tor belegt mit einem silbernen Schild, darin eine rote Hexe auf einem Besen reitend.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 11, 1996.
The tower symbolises the former castle of the Lords von dem Dale, who ruled and lived in the village. The small shield shows a witch on a broom. The Harz region is known for it's witch stories and the arms thus symbolise that the town is in the centre of the Harz region.
The previous arms were design and approved in 1956 and show the same tower. The small shield showed symbols for industry (cogwheel), mining (hammer) and forestry (tree).
The first arms were granted on May 19, 1937 and show the tower with the arms of the former Lords Von Thale who were mentioned as thelords of the local castle in 1340.
 Seal from around 1900 |
