Meaning:
The village was established in the 12th century. It became a centre of rafting, as much timber was needed especially for mining. The production of charcoal was practised between the 16th and 19th century. During the 19th century textiles industry became the main business line. The arms are an allegory for the confluence of the local rivers of Flöha and Zschopau. The background of the arms had been black before and the kettles light blue.
