Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on August 30, 1987.

The hook, a so-called wolf's hook, is derived from the arms of the medieval Lords of Topfstedt. The colours are taken from the colours of the Thüringen State. The two hooks also symbolise the two villages in the municipality, Nieder- and Obertopfstedt.
