Origin/meaning

The arms were officially registered in 1938.

The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, which is known since 1286, but which dates from around 1250. The seal shows a bird over a stream or water, surrounded by a wall. The stream is canting, kilde meaning well or spring. The roses first appear in 1384.

The meaning or origin of the bird is unknown. It has been postulated that the bird is an eagle, derived from the German Imperial eagle (the treasurer of the city was a German in the 13th century), or the eagle may be canting (from Høgekøbing, or hawk-city).
It has also been stated that the bird is the symbol of one of the main guilds in the city.
