WOLMIRSTEDT
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
District (Kreis) : Börde (until 2007 Ohrekreis)
Additions : 1950 Elbeu; 1993 Mose; 2009 Farsleben, Glindenberg
Official blason:
In Silber die heilige Katharina in rotem Gewand mit goldenem Haar und goldenem Nimbus, in der rechten Hand ein gestürztes silbernes Schwert mit goldener Parierstange und goldenem Griff, in der linken ein gebrochenes goldenes Rad mit fünf Speichen und vier Zacken; vor ihren Füßen ein blauer Schild mit einer silbernen Lilie.“
Origin/meaning:
The arms were officially granted on June 20, 1997.
The arms show a fleur-de-lis, symbol of purity. The historical seals of the city show the local patron saint, St. Catherine, holding a shield with the arms. The village developed around a Cistercian convent, founded in 1228, devoted to St. Catherine.
From the 1940s until 1997 the city only used the small shield with the fleur-de-lys. Since 1997 the whole composition has been in use again.
