The basic composition of the arms has not changed since, but the actual shape and design has changed regularly. The small shield supposedly is the arms of the oldest Lords of Leisnig from the 14th century, but the only known image of their arms shows the bend in the other direction. Seal of the city from around 1900 The arms as shown in the Coffee Hag albums (1930s) Literature : Bensing et al., 1984
