Meaning:
The Lordship of Penig was separated from the Lordship of Rochsburg in the imperil territory of Pleißenland in 1436. It was ruled by the Burgraves of Leisnig until 1538 and became a fiefdom of the Duchy of Sachsen with the Lords of Schönburg as vassals. The settlement was walled at the end of the 13th century and mentioned as a city in 1313. The arms are those of the Burgraves of Altenburg. A branch of that kin ruled the Penigerland in the 13th and 14th century.
