The arms were rather complicated; the arms showed a church, with in the gate the miner's tools, and on each side of the tower a small shield, one with the Prussian eagle, and one with the arms of the Counts of the Mark (in gold a bar, chequered of red and silver). The town developed rapidly the last century due to the mining. The church is canting (Kirche=church), the two shields represent the oldest rulers (Mark) and the rulers in 1875 (Prussia).
