Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) German Civic Heraldry BAD OLDESLOE State : Schleswig-Holstein District (Kreis) : Stormarn Origin/meaning: Oldesloe received city rights from the Counts of Holstein in 1238 and the prefix Bad in 1911. The arms are already seen on the oldest known seal of the city, dating from 1345. The arms show the arms of the Counts of Holstein with St. Peter, the patron saint of the city. In the 16th century the saint was placed in a shield and since the 17th century the saint is facing right. The arms have thus not changed since. Seal of the city from around 1900 The arms as shown in the Coffee Hag albums (1930s) Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Hupp, O: Kaffee Hag albums, 1920s
