The seal shows a standing on a rock sheep or lamb that is threatened by a lion located right below the rock. He was later added a coat of arms. The site logo, the design of which is against the rules of heraldry is used not as a coat of arms.
As early as 1801 and 1837 led Upper Neukirch two AA designed in this kind of stamp. At its importance Walter Hoffmann wrote: "Upper Neukirch AA formerly belonged to Stolpener court office. Stolpen was fortress on the basalt rocks. The sheep or calf on the stacked basalt blocks provides the protege is, which occupies the fortress from his pursuer, a lion, a secured place. "Lion could be emblematic of the Nostic family that greatly multiplied their wealth by buying at that time should have been and also interested in buying the good from Neukirch AA. Meanwhile, buyers, the free Obereck farmers to protect faces looking to the Office Stolpen, which they were henceforth assumed and which earned them the right to run their own official seal.
The seal image top Neukirch LS showed " a large deciduous tree (probably Linde ), next to the right and left sides was a small conifer. " Upper St. A. Neukirch had only a name stamp and led no seal image. The seal showed low Neukirch an anchor with the inscription " council to low Neukirch ".

A corresponding Siegelumschrift served the distinction. In search of a common seal low Neukirch's neither a historical, geographical or economic importance could be found for the anchor. The Ministry of the Interior in Dresden recommended the retention of the existing seal image with the lamb on the rocks dating back to 1801 with the indication that a combined seal is working too cluttered. In May 1926, unanimously decided the seal image with the lamb and the inscription community Neukirch (Lausitz), Amtsh. Bautzen, in 1926 to lead.
