OSTERBURG (OBG)
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
Incorporated into : 1994 Altmarkkreis Salzwedel, Stendal
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 29, 1938.
The arms are a combination of the eagle of Brandenburg to symbolise the fact that the district belonged to Brandenburg and the diamonds of the arms of the counts of Osterburg, who where the main noble family from the area.
