Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the seal of the town, known since around 1400. The meaning of the three oaks, however, is not known. In 1880 the city placed three shields on the trees, one of Sachsen-Lauenburg , one of Hamburg and one divided of Hamburg and Lübeck (see below). These three shields each represent part of the history of the town, when it was ruled by the Counts of Sachsen-Lauenburg (1270-1420) or the cities (1420-1867 jointly, since 1867 Hamburg). In the 1920s (?) the shields were removed again.
In the late 19th century also arms appeared for the city with only the divided shield of Lübeck and Hamburg, see below. These were the arms of the former Amt Bergedorf. The Amt Bergedorf was ruled jointly by the two cities from 1420-1867, when the Amt was bought and only ruled by Hamburg. The Amt included the city of Bergedorf and some surrounding municipalities/villages. The seal of the Amt was designed in 1620 when the two cities appointed a special Amtmann (governor) and the design was used until 1867.
