In Blau unter goldenem Schildhaupt mit quergelegter roter Hirschstange ein silberner Sparren, begleitet beiderseits von je zwei gekreuzten silbernen Berghämmern mit goldenen Stielen, im Winkel ein silberner Kelch

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 24, 1928 and again on July 7, 1993.

The arms combine elements of the arms of the two former rulers in the region; the deer antler for the Forst Estate, taken from the arms of the Lords of Biberstein, and the silver chevron for the Pförten Estate taken from the arms of the Counts von Brühl. The hammers and chalice represent the mining and glass industry in the city.
