The rooster, derived from the arms of the counts of Henneberg, was present in all three former arms. The second quarter is the lion of [[Hessen]], and symbolises the fact that the area was owned by the counts of Hessen from 1360-1866. The banner in the third quarter is taken from the arms of Meiningen and indicates the fact that Meiningen was owned by the Prince-Bishops of [[Würzburg]]. The arms of Saxony in the fourth quarter are a reminder of the Duchy Sachsen-Meiningen from 1680-1918. | The rooster, derived from the arms of the counts of Henneberg, was present in all three former arms.
