Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1918 and again registered in 1974.

The arms were created for the Town of Katrineholm. The cross symbolise the junction of the main railways on their way to Stockholm, the other charges symbolise trade (the staff of Mercury), industry (the hammer) and gardening (the rose).
