Shield Or; an eagle Sable; crowned, armed and tongued Gules, upon his breast an inescutcheon Argent, charged with hammer and mallet Gules in saltire.
Meaning:
Probably the city was founded in the late 13th century by the Staufen kin. The Counts of Hohenberg, owned the Imperial Fiefdom and the mineral royalty in order to exploit the local silver and copper. Neubulach was first called "city" in a dade from 1300, containing also the first city seal, which displayed a crowned eagle, probably referring to the privileges mentioned above. The oldest arms from 1535 also displayed a crowned eagle. Otto Hupp (1925) displayed the eagle with golden crown. The crown had been omitted later. That pattern prevailed until 1974. (see image of old banner above). When the city incorporated four minor villages in 1975, the crown was introduced again and the inescutcheon with the symbols of mining was added.
