Church in Kopitzsch

coat of arms

Blazon : "By a silver slanting left-hand wave bar divided by red and green, above a slanting left-hand silver oak leaf, below a slanting left-hand silver bell."

The coat of arms was approved on October 17, 1994 by the Thuringian State Administration Office.

Justification for the coat of arms: The oak leaf symbolizes the giant oak of Miesitz with a height of 32 meters and a crown diameter of around 25 meters, which made it the largest tree in the former Pößneck district.

The bell symbolizes the church, which was fundamentally restored in 1739/40 by order of the then manor owner von Miesitz, the Count von Stein. The sloping wave bar represents the Orla river.

Business

In the community there is a car workshop, a car paint shop, a horse ranch as well as a hotel and a go-kart track.
