coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Herzberg district

Coat of arms of the district of Herzberg 1990 to 1993

The Herzberg district initially adopted the coat of arms of the Schweinitz district . Due to the seal order of the GDR of May 28, 1953, all regional coats of arms lost their meaning as a brand or seal. However, the coats of arms of the cities were still used on buildings or in publications without fulfilling an official function. It was not until the municipal constitution of the GDR on May 17, 1990 that municipalities and districts were able to expressly use coats of arms again and use them as seals. The district of Herzberg now had a new coat of arms in which the Brandenburg eagle, the coat of arms of the Counts of Brehna and the coat of arms of Electoral Saxony were added.
