SONNEBORN

State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Gotha

Official blazon

(de) Geteilt von Rot und Blau; oben schwebend eine halbe strahlende goldene Sonne; das untere Feld ist mit einem zehnfachgestückten silbernen Bord umgeben, die blaue Fläche ist gewellt.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 7, 1995.

The arms show a rising sun, which is a canting element. The village is well known for its never freezing thermal springs, which is symbolised in the lower half, with the waves surrounded by a wall. The whole combination thus is again canting; a sunny spa (Sonnige Brunnen).
