Shield Or semy of heartlets Gules a lion rampant Sable armed and tongued Gules.
Meaning:
The local castle had been the ancestral seat of the Counts of Orlamünde, who entered the stage of history in 993. Under the castle the settlement Naschhausen developed since 1194. The area was sold to the Wettin kin in 1344. The castle was demolished during the Thuringian Counts´ War in 1345. Orlamünde had a local council and held the low level cognisance in 1386 and thus had been already a city then. The arms are the family arms of the counts, who founded the city.

Banner and arms are traditional. The arms probably were granted together with the city rights in the middle of the 14th century.
