Origin/meaning

The arms were officially adopted in 1995.

The eagle is derived from the arms of the medieval Counts of Barby und Mühlingen. Even though the original colours were a silver eagle on red, the silver and blue have been used for more as 300 years as part of the arms of the Princes of Anhalt.

The windmill is a canting element and also refers to the local windmill.
