The wavy bar is likely derived from the arms of the Massow dynasty. Rummelsburg was first mentioned in 1506 as a possession of the Massow family. The arms of the family are two wavy bars. The oldest known seal of the city dates from the 16<sup>th</sup> century and shows a letter M and two wavy bars. Another 16<sup>th</sup> century seal also shows the M, but with a single bar. | The wavy bar is likely derived from the arms of the Massow dynasty.
