All parts are modifications of the arms of the three parts of Sehmatal, which merged in 1999. The Paschal Lamb is representing Neudorf, the crow is representing Cranzahl and the blades are representing Sehma. The colours of the banner are those of Sachsen.

Shield Argent, on top of a mount issuant Vert a rowan of the same fruited Gules, a crow statant Sable in the tree´s centre.
Meaning:
The name is said to be derived from Krähwinkel, i.e. the crow´s corner. The bird is thus canting. The rowan (Latin: Sorbus accuparia), also called mountain ash, is a typical tree in the area. Its berries are called Vogelbeeren (literally: bird´s berries) in Germany, which is also another name of the complete tree. The arms are based on a local seal from 1868.

Shield Vert a flax plant Or, superimposed by two scythe blades Argent in saltire.
Meaning:
The plant might also be a bulrush, as the meaning of Sehma is doubtful. Some say it means bulrush creek, others say it means flax field. The scythe blades sometimes were considered to be sickles, knives or even plough shares. Sickles were used to cut the reed in the local creek. The current pattern is based on a local seal from 1719.
