In Silber eine bewurzelte grüne Eiche (mit 8 Blättern und 5 Früchten), deren Stamm von zwei kleinen silbernen Schilden mit je einem sechsspeichigen roten Rad beseitet ist.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 7, 1994.
The arms are based on the 15th or 16th century seal of the city. The oak tree is a canting symbol, for the -hage part of the name (Hage=bushes). The small shields show the arms of the Knights of Uchtenhage, Lords of Freienwalde in the 14th century.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
