In Silber über einem mit einer silbernen Ähre mit gekreuztem Schlägel und Eisen belegten roten Berg schwebend ein rechtsgewendeter rot bewehrter schwarzer Adler.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 4, 1993.

The black eagle is the eagle of Preussen (Prussia), as the village historically belonged to Preussen. The red mountain in the base symbolises the local Rote Berg (red mountain). The wheatear and miner's tools are derived from the old seal of Grosskamsdorf and symbolise agriculture and mining.
