Coat of Arms

The stone wall in the bottom of the coat of arms is the symbol of the Oberlausitz region, with its three tops symbolizing the three districts which were merged together. The linden leaves symbolize the Sorbs slavic minority. The shield above the wall is the old coat of arms of the Prussian province Lower Silesia (Niederschlesien).

Famous quotes containing the words coat of, coat and/or arms:

    Want is a growing giant whom the coat of Have was never large enough to cover.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Your coat in my closet,
    your bright stones on my hand,
    the gaudy fur animals
    I do not know how to use,
    settle on me like a debt.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The use of arms is ownership
    Of the appropriate gun. It is ownership that brings
    Victory that is not hinted at in “Das Kapital.”
    I think there is never but one true war
    So let us as you desire perfect our trade.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
