Drebkau Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, an embattled castle Argent masoned Sable with two towers with cone roofs Gules, port and windows Sable and portcullis Gules, in chief an impending inescutcheon Gules, charged with a lion rampant double queued Argent.
Meaning:
The settlement near a castle was mentioned in 1301 as a town and was a possession of the Lords of Eilenburg in 1353. The town was acquired by the Electorate of Saxony together with Lower Lusatia in 1635 and by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. The pattern appeared first on a seal of Drebgko town around 1600 and another seal with an additional year 1613. The inescutcheon displays differenced Bohemian arms, as the city had been a fiefdom of the Kingdom of Bohemia in the 14th century.
