Origin/meaning
The municipalities of Weissensee and Neu-Weissensee did not use any arms or seals with heraldic symbols. The only known seal of the municipality showed a laurel wreath and the name of the municipality. On August 8, 1912 the council adopted a coat of arms with two human figures, carrying a large key on their shoulders. These arms should symbolise the merger of the two municipalities in 1905. The, rather non-heraldic, design was not approved by the state heralds and thus never approved. Already in 1905 the state heralds designed the above arms with the symbols of St. Catherine, a spiked wheel and sword. St. Catherine was the patron saint of the parish of Weissensee and the arms were designed by the local priest. Although never officially approved, these arms were used widely after the design of 1912 was rejected.
When in 1920 the district Weissensee was established, the arms were retained, however, with the addition of the mural crown of the Berlin districts.
The symbols or arms of the villages of Falkenberg, Hohenschönhausen, Malchow and Wartenberg, which became part of the Weissensee district, were not included in the arms. In 2001 the district became part of the new district Pankow.
