Marburg.jpg

Official blazon

In Rot mit silbernem Saum auf silbernem Ross ein gepanzerter Ritter mit silbernem, goldverziertem Topfhelm und blauem Waffenrock, in der Rechten an rotgeschäfteter Lanze mit goldener Spitze eine golden befranste, dreilatzige silberne Fahne, darin in Gold mit blauem Bord ein blaues gotisches M, links einen Schild haltend, darin in Blau ein steigender, goldbekrönter, von Silber und Rot siebenmal geteilter Löwe.

Origin/meaning

Marburg was a possession of the Counts of Thüringen, who granted the town city rights in the early 13th century. The arms thus show a knight dresses as a count of Thüringen (most likely Ludwig IV). These arms are based on the oldest, 13th century, seals, that also showed the knight. Smaller seals only showed the helmet and crest of Thüringen, with a letter M as a mark for Marburg. In the 15th and 16th century the helmet with the letter was also used as the arms of the city.

At the same time the lion of Thüringen, with a letter M, was used as the arms of the city. This confusing situation was solved in 1577 when the present arms were adopted. They were again granted in 1895.
