Wappen von Bad Köstritz

Official blazon

(de) Gold ein linksgewendeter widersehender doppelschwänziger rotbewehrter silberner Löwe mit schwarzer Mähne und Haupt, in der rechten Pranke ein goldenes Schwert mit schwarzer Parierstange, die linke auf einem schwebenden Schild ruhend, darin in Blau zwei treue Hände in natürlichen Farben

Origin/meaning

The arms are based on the seal from Pohlitz dating from around 1850. The lion is the lion of the Counts and county Reuss, to which the village belonged until 1918. The shield with the two hands most likely was taken from the revolutionary arms of the Arbeiterverbrüdung (worker's brotherhood) from 1848. The meaning of the sword is not known.

Until ? the city used the ars shown below, with a similar design, but different colours. These arms were still listed in 2011 as the official arms of the town.
