Hohnstein Coat of Arms

Shield Or a hound passant Sable tongued Gules, in chief a trefoil Vert.
Meaning:
At the unsettled edge of the Slavic Milska Shire (Upper Lusatia) existed a castle as frontier post probably since around 1200. It was first mentioned in 1353 as capital of a little lordship, which was ruled by the Bohemian Berka kin from Dubá. The lordship was acquired by the Electorate of Sachsen in 1443. Since 1445 a little city developed. The arms are based on a city seal from 1588 with a circumscription "S. DER STAT HVNDSTEIN" (= s.(eal) of Houndstone city). The hound is a punning element, the trefoil probably just a local symbol.
