Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 28, 1994.

The arms were designed after a contest in 1962 and show typical elements of DDR heraldry at the time; symbols for transport (railways, wings), electrical power (for the local power station) and agriculture.

Until 1994 the arms showed the same design, but in other colours:

Wappen von Falkenberg/Elster/Coat of arms (crest) of Falkenberg/Elster
