Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the seal of the town, known since around 1400. The meaning of the three oaks, however, is not known. In 1880 the city placed three shields on the trees, one of Sachsen-Lauenburg, one of Hamburg and one divided of Hamburg and Lübeck (see seal below). These three shields each represent part of the history of the town, when it was ruled by the Counts of Sachsen-Lauenburg or the cities.
In the late 19th century also arms appeared with only the divided shield of Lübech and Hamburg, see below, but as far as I know not on any official city document.
In the 1920s (?) the shields were removed again.
The municipal stamp shown in 1892
The seal of around 1900
The arms in a French publication (+/- 1890-1900)

The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
The arms in the Abadie albums, 1930s
The arms in an album, 1950s
Literature: Hupp, O: Kaffee Hag albums, 1920s
