Schlotheim Coat of Arms

Shield Vert a pentacle reversed Argent.
Meaning:
Schlotheim had been a city until 2019. In Schlotheim existed a castle since 974 and the village had been seat of the Sewers of Schlotheim since 1174. Since 1277 Schlotheim was called a city. A Magdalenian nunnery was established in 1285. The city was a fiefdom of the Bishopric of Fulda and as such sold to the Counts of Hohnstein in 1330 and pawnwd to the Counts of Schwarzburg in 1338 and acquired by their successors the Counts of Sondershausen since 1571.
The first city arms displayed a canting lock. The current arms with six addirional stars were in use since 1505, based on the arms of the nunnery. Normally the reversed pentacle is a symbol of witch crft and is called "Drudenfuß" in German referring to a female demon and being usually a symbol of witchcraft. But here it is obviously different as arms of a nunnery.

The arms with stars were in use probably until the end of the GDR.
