Origin/meaning

The arms show the eagle of Brandenburg. The oldest seal of the city dates from the early 13^th century and shows the eagle in a shield on a field with scattered trefoils. Later seals only showed the eagle. The eagle indicated that the city was part of Brandenburg and has received city rights from the Dukes of Brandenburg.

The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
