history

Ossegg Monastery
Memorial to those who died in the 1934 mine disaster

The city is mainly due to the Cistercian - Kloster Ossegg known name which was founded in the year 1192, and the monastery church of the Assumption. The center of today's city arose in the area of ​​the historic old town. The actual settlement from the 12th century stood at the foot of the Ore Mountains, on an old trade route, a Bohemian path from Bohemia via Bílina ( Bilin ) to Saxony , now called the Old Salt Road. To the northwest of the monastery are the ruins of the former Risemburg protective castle .

The former village of Ossegg was elevated to a market in 1872. In 1914 Ossegg was granted city rights.

City arms

The green, lower field of the coat of arms symbolizes the pastures in the area and the silver field stands for the former silver and tin mining. In the upper strip, the left field with the abbot's staff is reminiscent of the important monastery, the right field shows the tribal coat of arms of those of Hrabischitz , Ossegg von Riesenburg and Kostka von Postupitz , an upright rake with seven prongs. The Czech word "hrábě" means rake and gave the name of this ancient noble family in Bohemia as the "bearer of the coat of arms with the rake". The middle fields with an oak tree and the mallets and iron indicate the abundance of forests and mining in the area around the village.
