Braunsbedra Coat of Arms

Shield parted per pale, above Vert a plough Argent; beneath Or, an 8-spokes wheel Sable.
Meaning:
The plough is symbolising agriculture. The wheel is symbolising lignite (= brown coal) mining. The green colour is symbolising the Geiseltal dammed lake and the landscape around the lake. The golden colour is referring to lignite as so called "black gold", as mining had been the main business line for a long time.
