Shield parted per fess, above Azure three firs Argent ordered per pale, below barry wavy of nine of Argent and Azure.
Meaning:
The firs are symbolising forest and timber industry, the lower half is a representation of the Flöha River. Older seals displayed an additional frog in a wreath on base. The frog was taken from the family arms of the Counts of Loß, who owned Olbernhau Manor in the 18th century. Olbernhau was elevated to a city in 1902.
