Mildenau Coat of Arms

Shield Argent an inescutcheon Vert chraged with two parts of a plough share, in base surrounded by a wreath Sable, on central base point hammer and mallet Sable in saltire.
Meaning:
Since 1520 Mildenau had been a place of mining of silver, tin, copper and cobalt, represented in the arms by hammer and mallet. The plough share is stressing the rural character of the municipality. The wreath has an arid branch at dexter and a sapful branch at sinister. There are different interpretations of the wreath, e.g. life and death, growth and seasons, good and dying environment. The arms are based on a parish seal from 1670.

Arnsfeld Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, issuant from base a triplemount Vert charged with an angular measure Argent, on the central peak a plough share Or, on both peaks in flanches a flower Vert blossomed Gules.
Meaning:
The arms are based on a local court seal, which was in use during the 18th and 19th century. The flowers probably had been tulips. In 1929 the local council decided to adopt a coat of arms, which displayed basically the old court seal with an additonal triangle (angular measure), representing local craftsmen, especially brick layers and carpenters. The plough share was stressing the former rural character, the mount the location in the Erzgebirge.
