    Boxberg Coat of Arms

    Description of coat of arms:
    In a golden (= yellow) shield is a black, rampant he-goat standing on a green triple mount.
    Meaning:
    The arms are canting. "Box" is derived from "Bock", i.e. a he-goat, while "Berg" is a mountain. Boxberg was first mentioned as a city in 1284. Probably there existed seals since the end of the 14th century. The arms are based upon the oldest pattern of the city seal, from which prints are existing from 1480. The pattern hardly changed. The arms, especially the colours, were fixed in 1955 and based upon the seal from 1594.

    The coat of arms was approved by the county administration on 10 March 1977, published in GABl 292/1978. Not matching the standard specification the banner never was approved officially.
