The arms were granted in 1936.


Eckernförde received city rights in around 1288. The first seal dates from the early 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows the castle at the coast (waves). The squirrel is a canting symbol (Eichhorn, or Ekern in the local dialect), which first appears on the seal in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. At first the squirrel was shown somewhere on the seal, later it became part of the arms itself. It was said that the area was covered with a forest, so dense that a squirrel could travel to Kiel without touching the ground.
