emblem

This coat of arms was adopted by Germans of the Bessarabia after the Second World war in 1946 and it is to be understood in its special uniqueness of their fate and their homeland.

 

 

It is divided in four parts:

  • blue and gold represent the once so beautiful sky which arched over their homeland and
  • the golden grain fields which surrounded the summer.
  • If the heavens blessed them with rain (cross in centre) the golden grains would ripen
  • The horse in the lower right represents the most loyal helper of the Bessarabia German farmers
  • the well represents importance of water, prosperity
  • the red in the middle accomplishes connection to the Rumanian national flag to which Germans, as loyal citizens, felt obligated.
