The modern Kaliningrad adopted arms on July 17, 1996, show above. The arms show the old (small) arms surrounded by a ship, indicating the importance as a harbour town. The ship is shown as a Medieval ship, as shipping has been of importance for the town during its whole existence. | The modern Kaliningrad adopted arms on July 17, 1996, show above.
