Greußen Coat of Arms

A knight clad in armour Azure and mounted on a sinister facing horse passant Argent bridled Or dividing his coat Gules by a sword Argent in bend sinister, on central base an inescutcheon Azure, chrged with a crowned lion rampoant Or.
Meaning:
The area around Greußen, (Markt-Greußen), Clingen (Cling-Greußen) and West-Greußen became a possession of the Benedictine Fulda Abbey in times of the Carolingians and in the 12th of the Landgraves of Thüringen. Their successors from the Wettin-Greußen family enfeoffed it to the Counts of Hohnstein in 1319 and to the Counts of Schwarzburg in 1356. Between 1698 and 1918 it belonged to the Principality of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. Besides the village (Old Greußen) a walled central town was established (German: Mittelstadt), in the 14th century also a walled new town (German: Neustadt). Already the oldest city seal from 1369 displayed the current pattern. The knight is St. Martin, the local patron saint, and the inescutcheon displays the arms of the Princes of Schwarzburg.
