Object history

Deutsch: Durch das Mühlrad wird auf das örtliche Hammerwerk und die Papiermühle hingewiesen, die früher eine große wirtschaftliche Bedeutung für den Ort hatten. Aus dem Wappen der Herren von Paulsdorf, einem bedeutenden Oberpfälzer Adelsgeschlecht, deren Stammsitz in Paulsdorf bei Hiltersdorf liegt, ist die Schrägvierung im oberen Schildteil entnommen. Die Paulsdorfer hatten die Herrschaft in Freudenberg bis zum Jahr 1622 inne.

English: The millwheel is referring to the great importance of water power for the local economy, which operated the Schienhammer hammermill until 1595, later a flour mill for barley and sorghum and finally a paper mill. The upper half is derived from the arms of the Lords of Paulsdorf, who had great influence and had been local rulers in the current municipality until 1622.
