Örebro kommunvapen

Official blason

I fält av guld en till vänster seende svart örn med näbb och fötter röda, åtföljd till höger om huvudet av en sexuddig stjärna och till vänster om detta av en avtagande måne, båda blå.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1915.

Örebro received city rights in the 13th century and the oldest known seal of the city dates from 1331. The seal already showed an heraldic eagle. It is not known why an eagle was chosen as a symbol for the city. The crescent and star were used on other medieval seals of the city. The symbols probably have a religious origin. When the arms were granted in 1915 the symbols were combined with the eagle and the blue colour was chosen arbitrarily.
