(de) In Rot schwebend der silbern-schwarz gespaltene Rumpf einer Bracke.
Origin/meaning
The arms are known since the 15th century and have been used since.
There is a legend related to the origin of the dog :
The name Lobenstein should been derived from an exclamation of Emperor Ludwig der Bayer who said 'Lobe den Stein' (praise the stone), when hunting in the area around 1330. The emperor lost his favourite dog during the hunt and it took hours for the hunters to find the dog. It was sitting wounded close to a stone. Glad that he found his dog he praised the stone, named the nearby village after it and granted the village the use of the dog in its arms.
The dog, however, was the crest used by the Counts of Reuss. These were first vassals of the Kings of Bohemia in the area and acquired the city Lobenstein as a full possession in 1597. They owned the city until 1918. The city adopted the dog as symbol for the counts.
