It is the coat of arms of the imperial governors who administered the land between the Erzgebirge and the Thuringian Forest since the 11th century and gave it its name. This golden lion in the black field is also called the Heinrichinger Löwe, because on the basis of an order of the ancestor of this family, Henry the Rich (1145-1193), all male descendants were named Heinrich.
