The arms were officially granted on ??-??-18??.


The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city (known since 1295), which shoed a tower, two keys and two griffins, see below. The griffins are derived from the arms of the Dukes of Pommern, who founded the city. The city was also the capital of the Duchy of Pommern-Wolgast. The colours are also those of Pommern. The meaning of the tower is not known, it may simply refer to the (fortified) city itself.The two keys probably are the symbol of St. Peter, as the local church was devoted to St. Peter.
