Shield Azure, a lion rampant barry of eight of Argent and Gules.
Meaning:
Kindelbrück developed as a settlement at a bridge crossing the Wipper River in the 8th century. During the 9th century the Benedictine Hersfeld Monastery owned local estates. During the following centuries the Landgraves of Thüringen gained complete control in the area. The village had the status of a market town since the 13th century, some privileges of a city in 1291 and gained city rights in 1372, when the former privileges were confirmed. Since 1426 two councils ruled the city always just for one year. In 1485 the city was acquired by the Wettin kin, in 1815 by the Kingdom of Preußen. The arms are in use since the 15th century, displaying the lion of the Landgraviate of Thüringen. Kindelbrück lost the staus of a city on 1 january 2019, when it merged with Bilzingsleben, Frömmstedt and Kannawurf.

The banner probably is used without approval. The arms are traditional.

Shield Vert, a demi-lion rampant Argent, holding an attire Or by his forepaws and wearing a helm Or crested by a bulge of Gules and Argent and mounted by seven swallow tail pennants horizontally divided of Argent and Gules.
Meaning:
The helmeted lion is taken from the family arms of the Lords of Bültzingslöwen, who originate from the village. As the family still exists, the municipal arms are a differentiation of the family arms, which display a full lion. The attire was added as another distinguishing mark. It is also referring to archaeological excavations, proving Bilzingsleben as one of the oldest settlements in the whole country.

Shield Or a stylised pyramide Sable built by irregular stones fimbriated Argent; mantled Azure, at dexter charged with a sword issuant Argent in pale, at sinister by a chalice of the same.
Meaning:
The pyramide is a representation of that one, built on the local Kirschberg, a hill, by teacher Dittmann and his pupils in 1913 on occasion of the 100-years-anniversary of the Battle-of-the Nations in Leipzig between the 16 and 19 October 1813. The sword is referring to the pious Knights of Keppler, the first owners of the village. The chalice is alluding to the monasteries of Capelle, Göllingen and Oldisleben, which gained earnings from the village.

Shield Azure, a capped tankard Argent in bend, flanked by two roses Or on sinsiter chief and on dexter base.
Meaning:
The tankard in bend is canting, representing a throw of a can (German: Kannenwurf). The roses are taken from the arms of the Lords of Kannewurf, commissionaires of the Landgraves of Thüringen. They were first mentioned in 1221 and had their ancestral seat in the village until 1350. Their family arms displayed the roses in the same positions but separated by a bend Or on a red shield.
