Shield Argent parted in chief by a cross Gules, one of its beams is fitchy and is pointing downwards into the jaws of a dragon passant Vert in base.
Meaning:
The pattern is alluding to St. George, the local patron saint, here represented by his attributes dragon and red cross. The tinctures red and white are not only those of the saint but also of the Counts of Beichlingen, local rulers until 1505. The green tincture is also symbolising the local cultivation of peppermint.

Shield Gules a goose passant Argent, at the sinister edge a patriarchal cross Or with top trefly; chief parted per fess dancetty, above barry of five of Gules and Argent, beneath barry of five of Argent and Gules.
Meaning:
Goose and cross had been part of local seals since 1839. The cross is a differentiation of the arms of the Benedictine Hersfeld Monastery. The wavy line of partition is symbolising the many floodings caused by the Lassa River. The chief is considered to be canting and representing rows of small houses. The tinctures white and red had been those of the Counts of Beichlingen

Shield Vert, a sword Or in bend superimposed by a palm frond of the same in bend sinister. In chief a fleur-de-lis Argent, in base a flax blossom of the same.
Meaning:
The village had two churches at least since 1506. Sword and palm frond are the attributes of St. Pancras, patron saint of the older church. The fleur-de-lis is an attribute of St. Mary, patron saint of the younger church. The flax blossom is symbolising linen weaving as most important business line in the past. The graan colour is symbolising agriculture, forestry and orchardry.

Shield Gules, a knight statant clad in armour Argent holding a sword Or by his sinister hand and a tournament lance of the same, topped by a swallow tail pennant Azure charged at hoist by a crosslet Gules by his dexter hand.
Meaning:
In 1252 a local castle was controlled by a local kin as a fiefdom of the Bishopric of Naumburg. Between 1274 until 1276 it was owned by the Counts of Käfernburg-Schwarzburg. The counts were succeeded by the Wettin kin. The Counts of Orlamünde ruled the village between 1330 and 1373 as vassals of that kin. Rastenberg gained city rights in 1378. It was acquired by the Ernestine branch in 1485 and belonged to the Duchy of Sachsen-Weimar from 1572 until 1918. The right to use proper seals was probably granted by the Landgraves of Thüringen, together with the city rights. The knight is said to be St. George, patron saint of the landgraves and recognisable by his attribute, the red cross. Others say, the saint is St. Wencelslas, patron saint of the Bishopric of Naumburg.

Shield parted per pale; at dexter Or a crane vigilant Sable with stone Argent, at sinister parted per fess, above Azure a sheep´s head Argent, beneath Sable an oak branch Or with three leaves.
Meaning:
The oak branch is taken from the family arms of the Lords of Werthern, who bought the village in 1505. The sheep (German: Schaf) is canting and representing Schafau, which had been incorporated in 1950. The crane is representing Bachra proper and probably taken from a village seal.
