Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 17, 2004.

The arms are based on the 14th century seal of the city. The seal, and arms, show two towers to indicate the city itself, and between the towers the arms of the Kings of Bohemia. Spremberg belonged to Bohemia until the 15th century. The base shows the hills surrounding the town.
