Origin/meaning

The arms were granted On October 3, 1930.

The lower part of the arms is derived from the arms of the city of Eger, who used the same grit-pattern. Neualbenreuth historically belonged to Eger. The dragon in the upper part is taken from the arms of the Counts of Cham-Vohburg. These had founded the monastery of Waldsassen, which owned a large part of the village Neualbenreuth until the early 19^th century.
