Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on December 10, 1997.

The cross (Kreuz) is a canting element. The four oak leaves refer to the four former municipalities as well as the Eichsfeld district. Also, some of the municipalities used oak leaves in their seals. The wheel is the symbol of the State of Mainz, to which the area historically belonged.
