VÝSLUNÍ

Province: Ústecký Kraj
District (Okres) : Chomutov

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

This mining settlement probably developed at the end of the 14th century. In 1562 the owner, Bohuslav Felix of Lobkovice, promoted the village to the status of a Town. On June 2, 1597 Vysluni started using the title "Royal Mining Town".

The arms originally showed in the upper half a miner and in the lower a sun above a mountain. This is derived from the German name of the town, Sonnenberg (Sun-mountain). In the current form the miner is replaced by a lion holding miner's tools.

Seal from around 1900.

The arms by Jan Čaka (1981)
