Meaning:
Senftenberg is county seat of Oberspreewald-Lausitz county. Probably at the end of the 12th century the Lords of Senftenberg built a German castle as their family seat. The namesake city was finished in 1279. Castle and city became dominions of the Electorate of Saxony in 1448. Early seals from the beginning of the 14th century displayed two shrubs of charlock mustard (Latin: Sinapis arvensis) on a mountain as canting example, as the name of the city means "mustrad mountain". Arms from the 15th century displayed in a golden field a red tower with the Bohemian lion in its open port, on its top is a flag with the crossed swords of the Saxon Electorate. Between 1642 and 1945 the arms displayed only flag and swords. The city is well known as a centre of coal mining (brown coal, lignit) in Lusatia, symbolised by hammer and mallet in the current arms.
