Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 15, 1993.

The cross is used as a symbol for the Paulinzella abbey, as the village was founded by monks form the abbey. The Arnica flower in the first quarter symbolises the fact that historically many medicinal herbs were grown in the village. The wheel symbolises that the village was situated along one of the main trades roads through Thüringen, as well as the fact that many villagers were coach drivers or -builders. The second and third quarter symbolise the Schiefergebirge mountains.

Literature: Ulle, 1997.
