Shield Azure a wall Or masoned Sable, topped by two towers of the same with roofs Gules, between the towers a saint issuant from wall, nimbed Or, dressed Gules and holding a key Or in pale by his dexter hand and a book Gules by his sinister hand.
Meaning:
The settlement was established around 1240 by the Lords of Mylau, which was first mentioned as a city in 1271. It had been a possession of the Reußen kin and was acquired by the Kingdom of Böhmen in 1367, by the Margraviate of Meißen in 1422, by the Reeves of Plauen in 1547 and finally by the Electorate of Sachsen in 1569. The right of patronage over the local parish church, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, was held in the 13th century by the Teutonic Order, which built a commandery in 1264. The saint is St. Peter, recognisable by his attributes key and book. He appeared already on the oldest known city seal from 1401. He is one of the two patron saints of the local parish church.

Mylau Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, standing on a base Vert a German Emperor with imperial crown, sword, coat of purple, inside lined by ermines, holding a sceptre Or by his dexter hand and leaning his sinister hand upon a shield Or charged with the black double-headed imperial eagle.
Meaning:
The little lordship was ruled by the imperial commissionaires of the Milin kin. Since the 13th entury the Reeves of Weida and Plauen gained control over the the village. In 1358 it was acquired by the Kings of Böhmen, who granted city rights in 1367 by Emperor Karl IV. In 1422 it was acquired by the Margraves of Meißen. The emperor in the arms is Karl IV, benefactor of the city. The pattern appeared first on a coloured image from 1725. In 1895 there had been made an ephemeral change, as the shield was replaced by a parchment, containing the year of the grant of city rights. The pattern changed in minor details, e.g. the beard had been white in times of the GDR.
