Wappen von Beelitz

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

Beelitz received city rights around 1341 from the Counts of Brandenburg. The arms thus show the eagle of Brandenburg, holding in its claws a key and crescent. The key is the symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of Brandenburg, the meaning of the crescent is not known. At present the city uses often a mural crown on the shield.

In 1967 the town received new arms, which were based on the oldest seal, dating from 1307 (see below).

The seal showed only the key and two crescents, not the eagle. In the 1990s the city adopted again the old arms.
