Sylda is a district of the town of Arnstein in the district of Mansfeld-Südharz in Saxony-Anhalt .
history
The village of Sylda has been mentioned several times since 992. There are various, sometimes contradicting, assumptions about the origin of the place name. When it was first mentioned in a document in 992, Sylda belonged to the imperial Palatinate Walbeck . The place was the seat of a lower noble family in the 13th century. The representatives of the same were servants of the Lords of Arnstein Castle . The local church received its present appearance in the second half of the 18th century. A pastor was mentioned in a document as early as 1287.
The desert villages of Iwerode , Klein Sylda and Wolfshagen are located south of Sylda .
From July 1, 1950 to March 31, 1990 Harkerode belonged to the municipality of Sylda.
In 1992 a memorial stone for Johann Gottfried Wilhelm Gangloff was erected in Sylda. The place commemorates his famous son, who was one of the game shooters in the Harz region in the 19th century. Gangloff went down in the sagas and legends of the Harz as the “horror of the Harz”.
A grave in the St. Marien parish cemetery commemorates a citizen of the Soviet Union known by name who was a victim of forced labor during the Second World War .
On January 1, 2010, the previously independent communities of Sylda, Alterode , Bräunrode , Greifenhagen , Harkerode , Quenstedt , Stangerode , Ulzigerode and Welbsleben and the city of Sandersleben (Anhalt) merged to form the new city of Arnstein. The administrative community Wipper-Eine , to which Sylda belonged, was dissolved.

coat of arms
In 1994 the municipality of Sylda commissioned the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch to develop a legally valid coat of arms. Sylda had demonstrably since 1801 (possibly even earlier) a community seal with which the place certified documents. The heraldist Otto Hupp writes at the beginning of the 20th century that the seal of the village of Sylda had a diameter of 35 mm and was labeled + DAS + GEMEINDE + SIEGEL + ZU + SILDA + 1801 +. It "shows a kind of vase or short column in a shield, on which an open flight appears at the top, from which a peacock bush (?) Protrudes."
At the end of the 19th century, the historian and local researcher Prof. Grössler took the view that the seal was the coat of arms of an unknown noble family. Hupp, on the other hand, mentions, "It would also be possible that it is based on some kind of allegory from the Biedermeier period."
Mantzsch agreed with the thesis that the seal picture of Sylda was an earlier coat of arms picture and referred to the following facts:
1.) There is not a single example of around 35,000 bourgeois or noble family coats of arms where the flight and peacock feathers are freely floating above the coat of arms; they were always a crest.
Mantzsch writes: “What is essential for a coat of arms is what is in the shield. This symbolism was unchangeable, that is, the coat of arms could only be expanded by adding new coats of arms (e.g. through marriage). Insofar as a family coat of arms was inherited, it was mostly the case that the actual coat of arms in the shield remained unchanged, but for example the crest or other accessories were changed to differentiate the genealogical lines. So changed peacock feathers z. B. to buffalo horns etc. These symbols of the coat of arms also had the function of differentiating the arms of different families of a tribe. In any case, they were elements that stood outside (ie above) the shield and were connected to a helmet. "
“If in the seal image of Sylda with the open flight and the peacock feathers it is a helmet ornament, then that unrecognizable spot between the flight in the old seal will have been a helmet. It can be proven in numerous examples of places that seal images changed over the centuries, because the seals z. B. worn out through use over a long period of time, their image became unrecognizable and its exact form and meaning lost from memory. No different is to be expected with Sylda. "
2.) There is always a coat of arms under a crest. In conclusion, the statement remains that the “Art Vase or Short Column” named by Hupp was nothing more than the former coat of arms of a family resident or ruling the place.
“We know that shield shapes have changed frequently in terms of style. In the Baroque period they sometimes took on grotesque forms. Sometimes as twisted or curved as a vase. What could be more obvious than the assumption that here too the engraver who created the seal in 1801 referred to the geometry that he saw handed down. "
“What is clearly recognizable from the old seal are the symbols of the rings and the crown. Crowns are subject to a strict and precise hierarchy in heraldry, that is, depending on the nobility, the crown was also drawn in a certain way. Assumptions that the crown could refer to a higher nobility are hardly comprehensible and purely speculative. "
