Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on

The arms combine the canting Saale river (blue pale) with the two battle-clubs taken from the arms of the Forstmeister von Rothenkolben-Lebenhan (foresters) and the beaver from the arms of the Knights of bibraBibra]]. The arms of the foresters originally showed three red roses besides the clubs, but these were omitted (in the new arms of Bad Bocklet one rose was added again).
