Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1943 (below) and in a new design in 1986 (above).

Uppsala kommunvapen

The origin and meaning of the arms is not really known. The oldest recorded use is only from 1731. The city seals before the 18th century all show a church building, the local cathedral. As the cathedral burnt down in 1702 it was probably not possible to have a proper representation of the cathedral on the new seal of the city. The lion has been speculated is the Swedish lion and symbolises that the Swedish Kings have been crowned in Uppsala for many centuries. The colours were only determine din 1943.
