Trebsen Coat of Arms

Meaning:
Near a local castle a settlement was established around 1150, which was called a village in 1404 and a city first in 1518. The arms are based on a city seal from the 17th century, having a circumscription "SIGILLVM CIVITATIS DRIBSENSIS" (= seal of the city of Trebsen). In between the pattern was restored by a cypher showing the intertwined initials "ST". The old pattern was restored in 1890. The castle is stressing the status of a city. The shields are those of Sachsen, at dexter the arms of the duke as archmarshal of the Holy Roman Empire.
