ÆRØSKØBING (1966-1970 Vestærø)
Region : Syddanmark
Amt (until 2007) :Fyn (until 1970 Svendborg)
Additions : 1966 Bregninge, Rise, Søby, Tranderup
Incorporated into : 2007 Ærø
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1938.
The arms are based on a seal of the city, which is known from 1629, but the arms may actually be older. An older seal exists from the Ærø herred, from 1442, which shows two trees. The arms may be partly canting, an Ær is an acorn or a birch, but the tree developed into a linden, which may be a symbol of justice. The name may also be derived from an island with a curved coastline and the arms may thus be pseudo-canting (canting arms for the wrong meaning of the name).
