State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Saale-Orla Kreis

Official blazon

Halb gespalten und geteilt von Rot, Silber und Blau; oben vorn ein aus Scherben zusammengesetztes silbernes Gefäß, hinten eine nach rechts geneigte rote Harfe, unten eine aus zwei Bogen bestehende silberne Steinbrücke, darunter ein schwebender silberner Wellenbalken.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 11, 1993.

The upper part shows in the upper right corner a broken vase, found in an excavation near the village. It dates from pre-historic times and symbolises the long inhabitation in the area. The harp in the upper left corner is derived from the old seal of Alsmannsdorf, which is now part of Dreitzsch. It meaning or origin are unknown.

The bridge in the lower part is the historical bridge over the Orla river.
