LUCKA

State : Thüringen
District (Kreis) : Altenburger Land

Lucka3.jpg

Official blazon

In Gold ein gewappneter Ritter in stahlblauer Rüstung mit geöffnetem Visier auf grünem Boden stehend. Der Ritter hält in der ausgestreckten rechten Hand ein schwarzes Kreuz und in der linken Hand eine gestielte Rose; er wird rechts begleitet von einem Wappenschild, der in silbernem Felde eine rote Rose mit goldenem Stängel und grünen Kelchblättern zeigt.

Origin/meaning

Since the beginning of the 17th century the arms of the city show a knight. Often the arms were shown with an axe instead of a cross and a whip instead of a rose. The knight supposedly symbolises the owner of the castle Breitenham and Lucka, who took part in one of the crusades. When he returned he granted city rights to Lucka as well as a knight in its arms. The old arms of Lucka showed a single rose, which was then reduced to a smaller shield beside the knight.
