Origin/meaning
The arms were devised and adopted in 1919, but officially granted on December 16, 1929.
The Agnus Dei, the symbol of St. John, is a symbol for the municipality of St. Johannesrain. The tools in the upper part symbolise the coal mining in the area. The upper part is derived from the arms of Bayern.
