Meaning:
The horse (German: Ross) is a canting element, the fir tree tops are alluding to the location on the northern edge of the Ore Mountains (German:Erzgebirge). Hammer and mallet are symbolising former silver mining. The church is a representation of the village church in Niederrossau, a protected monument.
