Origin/meaning
The arms are canting, a bear (Bär) before a forest (Wald) for the old German name Bärwalde.
The oldest seal of the city dates from the 14th century and already shows the same arms, except that the bear is facing the other side. All later seals show the bear facing left as in the arms above. Often the seals showed the Prussian eagle as a supporter behind and above the shield, but this was not used in official images of the arms itself.
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
 The arms as shown in 1963 |
 The arms as shown in 1994 |
