Origin/meaning
The arms were officially adopted by the city in 1808.
Anklam received city rights from the Dukes of Pommern in the early 13th century and was part of the Hanseatic League. The arms of Anklam show the griffin of Pommern on a wall symbolises the founding of the city. The griffin holds an 'arrow' of unknown origin, but may be taken from the arms of Stralsund, and has been used since the 14th century. The oldest seal of the city is known from 1284 and already shows the griffin and gate, but not the arrow.
In the 19th and early 20th century the colours of the shield and the different elements has varied widely, as can be seen in the images below.
