TEGKWITZ
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Altenburger Land
Incorporated into : 2008 Starkenberg
Official blazon
(de) Geteilt und halb gespalten; oben in Rot eine silberne Laute; unten vorn in Blau zwei goldene Gegenzinnbalken; unten hinten in Gold ein schwarzes Kreuz, belegt mit einer silbernen Lilie.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 16, 1995.
The upper part of the arms shows a lute, which already appeared on old seals of the village. The meaning, however, is not known.
The lower part shows the bars of the medieval family Eckenbrecht von Tegkwitz, who originated from the village, and a cross with fleur-de-lis. These refer to the local Marienkirche. A fleur-de-lys is a common symbol for St. Mary. The Eckenbrecht von Teckwitz family were related to the Counts of Starkenberg, who used similar arms.
