Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on November 24, 1914 and again on July 21, 1994.

Biesenthal received city rights in the early 14^th century from the Counts of Brandenburg. The seals only showed the red eagle of Brandenburg after the 16^th century or the bars of the Lords of Arnim before the 16^th century. The above arms were designed in 1902, but it took until 1914 to have the arms officially granted.
