Official blazon

Gespalten von Gold und Blau; vorn am Spalt ein halber hersehender, gold gekrönter schwarzer Stierkopf mit aufgerissenem Maul, silbernen Zähnen, ausgeschlagener roter Zunge, in Spitzen abgerissenem Halsfell und silbernen Hörnern; hinten in Blau am Spalt ein halber grüner Rosenstock mit einer halben roten Rose auf grünem Grund, begleitet: oben von einem silbernen Malteserkreuz, unten von einem aufgerichteten goldenen Adlerfang.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 16, 1876.

Ludwigslust was founded as a residence of the Grand-Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the late 18th century. In 1876 the village recieved city rights and the above shown arms. The bull's head is taken from the arms of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The rose and the claw are taken from the arms of the Lords of Kleinow, to which the area belonged until 1616. The small cross refers to the Bethlehem Convent, founded in the town in 1851.
