Origin/meaning

The arms show miner's tools as a symbol for the former silver mining near the town. The town, then named Silberberg in German (the Czech name means the same: silver mountain), was already mentioned as a town in 1520. Probably at the same time a seal was made, but there is no proof of that. The town arms do appear, however, already on a seal from 1577

Older arms are mentioned, showing St. John, but there are no images known of these. The image below is based on a single description of these arms
