LÖBAU (LÖB)

State : Sachsen
Incorporated into : 1994 Löbau-Zittau (2008 Görlitz)

Lobau.kreis.jpg

Origin/meaning :
The district adopted arms in 1948, showing a weaver shuttle and wheat ears, symbols for industry and agriculture. Unfortunately I have no image of these.
The arms were abolished in 1952.

In 1992 the district adopted the above arms, which are a combination of the unique iron tower on the Löbauer Berg and the source of the river Spree.


Literature : Leisering, 2000.
