FLENSBURG
State : Schleswig-Holstein
Urban District (Kreisfreie Stadt) : Flensburg
Additions : 1910 Engelsby, Twedt, Twedterholz/Fruerlund; 1970 Adelbylund; 1974 Sünderup, Tarup
Official blazon
In Gold über blauem Wellenschildfuß ein sechseckiger roter Turm mit blauem Spitzdach, aus dem übereinander zwei herschauende, rot gezungte blaue Löwen hervorbrechen; oben ein roter Schild mit silbernem Nesselblatt.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 1, 1901 and were only slightly changed in 1938.
Flensburg received city rights already before 1270 and the oldest known seal dates from 1282. The present arms were granted in 1938 and are based on this oldest seal. The two lions are derived from the arms of the County Schleswig, to which the city belonged. The tower and the waves symbolise the city itself. The small shield with the arms of the counts of Holstein was added in the 15th century.
