coat of arms
The Saale-Holzland-Kreis has had a coat of arms since 1997 with the following blazon : “Split by a curved, ascending golden tip studded with red hearts, inside a black growing lion; right in red a silver diagonal right bar; on the left in the field divided nine times by black and gold, a diagonal green diamond wreath. "
The coat of arms shows the symbolism used in the past for the lords, counts and princes who predominate in what is now the Saale-Holzland district. Until the end of the 14th century these were the lords of Lobdeburg (top right) and the counts of Orlamünde (at the top). After that, almost the entire area belonged to the Wettin princes (top left). For a short time (1680 to 1714) the Duchy of Saxony-Eisenberg emerged in this area ; the current district town of Eisenberg was the residential town under Duke Christian.
An overview of the coats of arms of the towns and communities in the district can be found in the list of coats of arms in the Saale-Holzland district .
