Eisenberg Coat of Arms

Shield parted per fess, above Argent a sword Gules hilted Or in bend sinister under a lance Gules with finial Or and pennant Gules parted by a cross Or, beneath Azure three bezants ordered 2:1.
Meaning:
The lower half is that one of the family arms of the Lords of Freyberg, who gained the village as an Austrian fiefdom in 1382. Since 1470 there existed a branch line of Freyberg-Eisenberg. Sword and lance are attributes of St. Morris, the local patron saint.
