Beelitz received city rights around 1341 from the Counts of Brandenburg. The arms thus show the eagle of Brandenburg, holding in its claws a key and crescent. The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of Brandenburg, the meaning of the crescent is not known. At present the city uses often a mural crown on the shield. | Beelitz received city rights around 1341 from the Counts of Brandenburg.
