THALE
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
Origin/meaning:
The tower symbolises the former castle of the Lords von dem Dale, who ruled and lived in the village. The small shield shows a witch on a broom. The Harz region is known for it's witch stories and the arms thus symbolise that the town is in the centre of the Harz region. The previous arms were design and approved in 1956 and show the same tower. The small shield showed symbols for industry (cogwheel), mining (hammer) and forestry (tree).
Literature : Bensing et al., 1984
