Wappen von Rehau

Official blazon

In Silber auf grünem Boden ein zwischen zwei grünen Nadelbäumen springendes rotes Reh, dessen linkes Vorderblatt mit einem von Silber und Schwarz gevierten Schildchen belegt ist.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 11, 1427 by Prince Friedrich I of Brandenburg. The document, however is lost, so the oldest known coloured image dates from 1581.

The deer (Reh) is a canting element. The small shield is the arms of Hohenzollern. The small shield supposedly was not granted in 1427, and was thus added later that century or in the 16th century. When the city became Bavarian, the black and white of Hohenzollern had to be changed in blue and white of Bayern. This was restored in the old colours in the beginning of this century.
