Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on July 20, 1995.

The arms date from the 17th century, when they appear on the local seals. The arms were also shown as above by Hupp in the 1920s. The chevrons are derived from the arms of the Lords of Herbsleben and Gebesee, vassals of the Counts of Henneberg, who owned the area. The deer is probably originally a dog, as the oldest Lords of Herbsleben, the Lords of Wangenheim, used a dog as their arms in the 14th century.
