coat of arms
At its meeting on September 10, 2014, the municipal council passed the resolution on the new coat of arms. The coat of arms was approved by the Leipzig District Office on November 13, 2014.
Blazon : “In silver, a black cart with two wheels on the central crest of a green three-mountain topped with a silver contoured blue wavy bar, on it a silver stonecutter's teeth (crossed hammers with chisels), on each of the small outer mountain crests two leafy green ears a cut green oak tree on each side. "
The coat of arms was designed by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and, following a decision by the municipal council on September 10, 2014, was included in the approval process. The heraldic symbols refer to the Lossa flowing through the municipality, the quarrying of quartz porphyry, the surrounding mountains, agriculture and the natural, tree-rich surroundings with oaks.
The colors of the church are green and white.
