Marienberg Coat of Arms

Shield Azure with Baroque frame Argent; standing on a crescent recumbent Argent on top of an inescutcheon St. Mary, nimbed and crowned Or, dressed Gules and coated Azure, holding baby Jesus Christ nimbed Or by her dexter hand and a sceptre fleury Or in bend sinister by her sinister hand, in base an inescutcheon barry of ten of Sable and Or charged with a crancelin Vert, superimposing hammer and mallet proper in saltire.
Meaning:
Near the deserted village of Schletta silver ore had been found in 1519. In 1521 Duke Heinrich the Pious of Sachsen founded the city and granted city rights in 1523, also the right of free mining, an own market, an own police force and the local cognisance. Since 1566 the city had a proper mayor. Also copper and tin had been depleted. The city grew rich. In 1541 the city hall was finished and a fortified wall was built. In 1564 a city church dedicated to St. Mary was finished. Mining declined after the 30-Years-War (1618 – 1648) and textiles industries became the main business lines. St. Mary is the local patron saint and name giver of the city. The inescutcheon displays the arms of the Electorate of Sachsen. Hammer and mallet are the symbols of mining. Between around 1948 and 1989 the Saxonian inescutcheon and the tools were replaced by a golden shield only displaying hammer and mallet black.

Zöblitz Coat of Arms

Baroque shield Or a sable´s head caboshed Sable.
Meaning:
Zöblitz had been a city, until it was incorporated into Marienberg in 2013. It belonged to the Lordship of Lauterstein which became a fiefdom of the Wettin kin in 1323. Since 1559 it was under direct rule of the Electorate of Sachsen. Main business line had been the processing of serpentinite, a stone similar to marble. The sable (German:Zobel) is canting. He appeared first on a local seal in the 16th century.
