Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
LAUENBURG
State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Herzogtum Lauenburg
Official blazon
In Silber eine rote Burg mit goldenem Tor in der Mauer und zwei spitz bedachten Zinnentürmen; zwischen ihnen schwebend ein gespaltener Schild: vorn in Silber ein halber roter Adler am Spalt, hinten neunmal geteilt von Schwarz und Gold, überdeckt mit schrägem, gebogenem grünen Rautenkranz.
Origin/meaning
The arms show the Lauenburg castle, built in 1181 by Duke Bernhard I of Sachsen, who named himself after the new castle. His arms are shown between the towers. The village around the castle grew rapidly and received city rights in the 13th century. The oldest seals already showed the present arms, whose composition has not changed since. The shape of the castle, however, has changed considerably during the centuries.
