Eisenberg Coat of Arms

Shield Sable three horseshoes Argent ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
A single horseshoe on a triangular shield already appeared on a local court seal, which had been in use until 1622. Three horseshoes were displayed on seals since the 17th century. The patterncould also be found on local border stones and was probably a canting local symbol, as the German word was Hufeisen. The tinctures are those of the Teutonic Order, which owned large possessions in the village. In 1963 Eisenberg gained city rights.
