The eagle is derived from the arms of the Counts of Arnstein, who were the first German rulers of Ruppin in the 13th century. The fleur-de-lis is derived from the arms of the Lords of Plotho, first Lords of Kyritz, The mitre is taken as a symbol for Wittstock, which developed when Bishop Heinrich I made the city his capital.
