Meaning:
Freital had been a place of stone coal mining before 1542. The coal was depleted by a labour union since 1745 and by the Saxonian state since 1806. In 1789 a hammer mill was founded, followed by various kinds of heavy industries. The cogwheel is symbolising industries, the tree forestry, the ear agriculture and the tools mining.
