Gröditz Coat of Arms

Shield quartered, 1st quarter Gules a grain ear Or, 2nd quarter Or a hammer Sable in bend sinister and an anvil of the same, 3rd quarter Azure a fleur-de-lis Or, 4th quarter Argent a heraldic rose Gules seeded and barbed Argent.
Meaning:
The village was first mentioned in 1363. Since 1780 the Counts of Einsiedel established the hammermill of Lauchhamer. A smelter and a furnace were added between 1815 and 1827. In 1883 a pulp mill was established. The 1st and 2nd quarter of the arms are symbolising agriculture and steel works as important business lines. The fleur-de-lis is taken from the arms of the Lords of Köckritz, the rose from those of the Lords of Schleinitz. Both had been local manorial lords in the past.
