Origin/meaning
Schandau received in 1480 from Prince Ernst of Sachsen the right to use its own seal and arms. It was already described that the arms should show a ship. Ever since the town has used these arms, which were formally granted in 1897. The ship probably indicates the importance of shipping on the Elbe at the time.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
