coat of arms

Blasonierung: In silver a gold-reinforced red eagle, the catches accompanied of two green sea-sheets.

The coat of arms with the märkischen eagle developed for instance in the 13.Jh. On a document of 1353 it carries golden chest clips with clover page ends. The meaning of the sea-sheets is not clear, since there was no lake to close-to-the-city ones (only 1975/77 resulted to one in the north of the city, from dredging for the Elbbrückenbau with joke mountains). Perhaps the situation of the city at the Urstromtal of the Elbe and frequent floodings were by floods in the past centuries the reason for the admission of the sea-sheets.
