MÜNCHENBERNSDORF
State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Greiz
Verwaltungsgemeinschaft : Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Münchenbernsdorf
Official blazon
In Rot einen Mönch in silbernem Gewand mit einem goldenen Kreuz am Gürtel, in der linken Hand ein Buch haltend.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 20, 1998.
The oldest arms of the city were used until 1948 and showed in gold a black monk, see below. The monk is a canting element, Mönch meaning monk.
As the name historically was derived from the Von Münch family, the arms were changed in 1948. The new arms showed a hand holding a spindle as a symbol of the local textile industry, as well as the arms of the Von Münch family, see below.
 The arms from 1948-1990 |
In 1990 the historical arms were restored, but in the colours of the arms of the Von Münch family. It took, however, until 1998 before the arms were officially registered.
 A seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
