Wappen von Schnackenburg/Coat of arms (crest) of Schnackenburg

Origin/meaning

The arms are based on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from the 17th century. The gate and towers symbolise the fact that the village received city rights in the 17th century. The eagle is the eagle of Brandenburg, as the area was a possession of the Counts of Brandenburg until 1390. The colours are first used in 1891. The above arms were officially granted in 1965.
