Origin/meaning
Schmölln received city rights in 1484, but the oldest seal dates already from 1396. The seal showed already the above arms, which show St. Mary on a throne, the patron saint of the city. In front of the throne is a helmet with as a crest a bunch of feathers.
This helmet is derived from the arms of the Counts of Reuss, who ruled the city at the time and who granted the city rights.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
