Mörsdorf Coat of Arms

Shield Argent a bridge Sable, flanked in chief by three conifers Vert in fess and in base by a bell Gules.
Meaning:
Mörsdorf was first mentioned in 1547. The conifers are symbolising forestal riches, which had been of economic importance for a long time. The bridge is a representation of the local Teufelstalbrücke. The old bridge, built between 1936 and 1938, had been one of Europe´s biggest arch bridges. Its span had been 138m. The bridge was replaced between 1996 and 2002 by two parallel bridges due to the extension of the local motorway. The bell was made of bronze and finished in 1522 and is also representing the local church.

Schleifreisen Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Gules a steerage Argent; at sinister Argent a boar salient Sable, armed and tongued Gules with back Gules; issuant from base a mount Vert charged with a fess wavy Argent and issuant from fess a millwheel of the same.
Meaning:
The steerage, the connection of a waggon with its drawbar, is representing traders, waggoners and agriculture, the latter being the main business line. The boar is symbolising the disputability of the inhabitants, who resisted successfully the frequent attempts of seigneurs to exploit them. The boar is also symbolising the rich wildlife in the surrounding forests. The millwheel is taken from the family arms of the Lords of Lichtenhain, former local rulers. Millwheel and fess wavy are also alluding to the pair of watermills alongside the Zeitzbach, a creek. The green colour is symbolising forestal riches and the Holzland, i.e. woodlands.

Shield Argent a pile wavy reversed Azure, charged with a knight statant clad in armour Or and nimbed Or, holding a lance Or by his dexter hand and leaning on a shield Argent parted by a cross Sable with his sinister hand, in dexter and sinister chief two conifers Vert.

A pilgrimage chapel, dedicated to the saint, was mentioned in 1266. The saint is also name giver of the municipality. The pile wavy is also symbolising the riches of water. The trees are symbolising forestry and wood processing as important business lines.
