Kupferberg Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Or a sinister facing lion rampant Sable, armed and tongued Gules, superimposed by a bendlet sinister Argent; at sinister Gules a pestle and a copper mallet in saltire, both Argent hafted Or.
Meaning:
The settlement developed at the edge of a copper mine of the Bishopric of Bamberg. It was first mentioned in 1320 and probably had had already the characteristics of a city. The first seal from 1364 displayed the lion of the bishopric. The current pattern appears first on a seal from 1592 and as a coloured image in the Roll of Vassals of the Bishopric of Bamberg in 1603. Between 1819 and 1850 pestle and mallet were put into a black dexter half, the sinister half displayed the Bavarian tinctures white and blue. The former pattern was restored in 1954. The sinister facing lion is a differentiation of the arms of the bishopric. The tools are representing copper mining.
