State : [[Sachsen]]<br/>
===Origin/meaning===
District (Kreis) : [[Zwickau (kreis)|Zwickau]] (until 2008 [[Zwickauer Land]])<br />
The arms are probably canting, three church (Kirche) towers on a hill (berg). The mountains were later attributed to be the hills surrounding the town; the Borberg, Geiersberg and Schiesshausberg.
Additions: 1973 Burkersdorf; 1996 Leutersbach, Wolfersgrün; 1997 [[Saupersdorf]], Stangengrün; 1999 Cunersdorf


[[File:kirchbergsa.jpg|center]]
The oldest known depiction of the arms dates from the 14th century and shows three (wooden ?) towers on a hill. During the centuries the size and shape of the towers has changed considerably. The current shape dates from 1852, which, in turn, is based on a depiction from 1394.
