German | In Rot über blau-silbernem Wellenschildfuß eine silberne Burg, mit zwei pyramidenförmigen bezinnten Türmen, belegt mit je einem schwarzen Fenster, und einer torlosen bezinnten und gequaderten Mauer dazwischen; darüber schwebend zwischen zwei sechsstrahligen silbernen Sternen ein silberner Schild mit goldbewehrtem rotem Adler. |
English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 2, 1993.
The arms are based on a seal from 1300 and are in use since 1904. The arms indicate the city surrounded by lakes and in possession of the Princes of Brandenburg (eagle). The meaning of the stars is not known, they probably are used simply to fill the field of the seal, which was common at the time.
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
