ILMENAU
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Ilmkreis
Additions: 1939 Roda; 1981 Unterpörlitz; 1993 Oberpörlitz; 1994 Heyda, Marnebach
Official blazon
In Silber zwischen zwei hohen roten Türmen mit geschlossenen Toren und spitzen Dächern schwebend ein gevierter goldener Schild; Feld 1 und 4: oben ein wachsender, doppelköpfiger schwarzer Adler, über ihm schwebt eine goldene Krone, unten rot-silbern geschacht; Feld 2 und 3: auf einem grünen Dreiberg eine schwarze Henne; über dem Schild ein neunblättriger grüner Blattwedel.
Origin/meaning
The arms have been used by the city since 1558, without the leaves over the small shield, which were added only in the 1990s. The two towers symbolise the city itself, which was a possession of the Counts of Henneberg. The small shield shows the arms of the counts in the 16th century, with in the first and fourth quarter the imperial eagle above chequered field. The chequered field is derived from the arms of the city of Würzburg, together with the eagle it symbolises that the counts were Imperial governors in both Ilmenau and Würzburg. The second and third quarters show the traditional arms of the counts, a hen on a mountain (Berg).
The leaves symbolise the 9 villages of the former Amt Ilmenau, which were incorporated into the city.
