HOHENSCHÖNHAUSEN
State : Berlin
Incorporated into : 1920 Berlin
Origin/meaning :
The newer (right) arms date from the 1980s and symbolise the modern living quarters in the district, with green parks and a young population.
The old arms were designed in 1816 and commemorated the liberation of 1814, hence the German cross and the date 1814. These arms remained in use until 1945.
Literature : Machatscheck, 1987; Vogel, 1987
