The 3rd quarter displays a differentiation of the family arms of the Counts of Henneberg, local rulers for centuries. The 4th quarter is referring to the Order of St. John, which had been the biggest manorial lord. Its castle is still in the village.

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Gules three bulrushes Argent; at sinister parted per fess, above Argent a cross trefly Gules, beneath Or a hen statant Sable armed Gules on top of a triplemount issuant Vert.
Meaning:
The village was first mentioned in 815, when a short living Benedictine Monastery was established, which was later transformed to an imperial estate (German: Reichshof). In 983 an imperial assembly (German: Reichstag) was convoked in the village on occasion of the sudden death of King Otto II. As a result Duke Heinrich of Bayern overhanded the guardianship over the king's son, laterKing Otto III, to Theophanu, the widow of Otto II. In 1206 a Benedictine nunnery developed south of the village, which was secularised during the Protestant reformation in the 16th century. The cross is representing both local Benedictine abbeys in the past. The lower part displays the family arms of the Counts of Henneberg, local rulers for centuries. The bulrushes (German: Rohrkolben) are canting.

Shield parted per fess; above Or a demi-stag salient issuant Sable; beneath parted per pale, at dexter Or a hen statant Sable armed Gules on top of a triplemount issuant Vert, at sinister Gules a column Argent crowned Or.
Meaning:
Due to the distributuion of estates of the Henneberg kin Schwarza became a possession of the Counts of Henneberg-Hartenberg in 1274 and of the Counts of Henneberg-Aschach in 1379. The crowned column displays the arms of the Schach branch, which became extinct in 1549Afterwards it was the seat of a district (German: Amt) of the county. On 20 September 1495 Emperor Maximilian I granted market and city rights on behalf of Count Hermann VIII of Henneberg-Aschach. But the city rights remained defunct and just the market rights were practised. In 1532 Schwarza became the capital of the Henneberg-Schwarza branch. In 1549 the branch died out and Schwarza was bequeathed to the Counts of Stolberg, finally in 1577. The dexter half beneath displays the arms of the Counts of Henneberg, local rulers for centuries. The upper half is a differentiation of the arms of the Counts of Stolberg, the heirs of the Henneberg kin, whose family arms displayed a full stag, either passant of salient.
