RONNEBURG
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Greiz
Official blazon
- (de) Geteilt von Schwarz über Silber; oben ein wachsender goldener Löwe; unten schräggekreuzte schwarze Berghammer, überhöht von einem schwarzen Webschützen.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted in 1981.
The lion is derived from the arms of the Vögte von Weida, who had large possessions in the area for many centuries. The lower half shows a spindle which symbolises the Schnallensturm (a revolt the textile workers in 1841 against introduction of new power-looms). The miner's tools symbolise the importance of mining in the area. Until the 17th century the local seals show an empty lower half of the shield. Later the seals showed some wall-like structure, which in the 19th century developed into a chequered shield.
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
