Meaning:
Geyer was called a mining municipality in 1407, a market town in 1456 and a city in 1467. Tin mining had been the most important business line from the very beginning, later also the depletion of sulphur and vitriols. The vultures (German: Geier) are canting, the tower is a representation of a watch tower from the 14th century. The stars are representing the 14 Holy Helpers.
