Origin/meaning
The arms were officially registered in 1989.
The arms until 1970
The arms with the ship are known sinde 1535, but in 1989 a harbour porpoise was added. In historical times porpoises were hunted in the seas near Middelfart. Also, the porpoise reminds of the dolphin in the arms of Vejlby-Strib, which was incorporated into Middelfart in 1970. Until 1970 the arms above were used.
These arms are based on the oldest known seal, dating from 1535. The city is an important harbour, which explains the ship. Sometimes the seals showed a small fish in the base of the shield to distinguish the arms from similar arms, such as from Kerteminde and Bogense. This was the base for the addition of the porpoise in 1989.
