Weischlitz Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess; above parted per pale, at dexter Sable a lion rampant Or, crowned armed and tongued Gules; at sinister again parted per pale, there at dexter parted of Argent and Gules per fess embattled and at sinister Sable a fess Argent; beneath Azure a bridge Argent masoned Sable.
Meaning:
The lion is the heraldic animal of the Reeves of Plauen. The bridge probably is a representation of the local railway bridge. The upper sinister half displays probably the arms of local kins of noblemen. Its tinctures are taken from the arms of the Feilitsch kin and the Gößnitz kin.
