In another seal from 1265 the virgin holds a wreath. Later seals all show the same arms.<br/> | The arms of Magdeburg are canting, a virgin (Magd) on a city wall (Burg).

In the 16<sup>th</sup> century the arms are quartered with the old arms in the first and fourth quarter. In the second and third quarter a rose is added. The rose has been explained, either as the rose of Neugattersleben or as the Lutheran rose. The city owned the village of Neugattersleben and the rose was the arms of the Lords von Gattersleben in the 14<sup>th</sup> century. The Lutheran rose should indicate that the city had become Lutheran. | In the 16<sup>th</sup> century the arms are quartered with the old arms in the first and fourth quarter.
