Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on March 1, 1995.

The wavy bar is the Gera river. The name Gera is derived from gero, or straight corner. Hence the shape of the bar, which also shows the town's initial. The linden leaves are a symbol for the ypical linden trees around the farms in the area. The millstone symbolises the (formerly) many mills in the Gera river.
