KÖPENICK
State : Berlin
Incorporated into : 1920 Berlin
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the town, dating from 1350. The seal showed the combination of fish and key, but also a bend with small crosses. The bend was removed in the seals since the 17th century. The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the local patron saint. The fish are a symbol for the former importance of fishing in the lakes and rivers near the town, but also St. Peter is the patron saint of fishermen.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
