Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 8, 1995.
The city wall and church represent the impressive churches in Prenzlau and Angermünde, as well as the many former monasteries in the district. The two round windows represent the Uckerkreis and the Stolpinische Kreis, two ditricts that existed from medieval times until 1816. In 1816 a new angermünde district was formed, and the three windows represent the three districts for that era.
The area was a border area and many forts were established in the district in the Middle Ages. The two small shields show the arms of Brandenburg (eagle) and Pommern (griffin), as the area historically belonged to these two States.
The wavy bars represent the Oder, Randow and Ucker rivers in the district. The golden field symbolises the rich wheat fields in the disctrict. Red and silver are the colours of Brandenburg.
Literature: Linder and Olzog, 1996
