Garding.jpg

Official blazon

In Blau, unten begleitet von einem goldenen Abendmahlskelch, das golden nimbierte silberne Gotteslamm, mit dem rechten Vorderfuß die geschulterte Siegesfahne haltend: an goldener, oben in ein Kreuz auslaufender Stange ein silbernes, in zwei Zipfel endendes Banner mit rotem, durchgehendem Kreuz.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 30, 1963.

Garding received city rights in 1590 by Duke Johann Adolf von Gottorp of Holstein. The first seal, which dates from the same time, already shows the Agnus Dei. On the banner the letters S.O.G. (Sigillum Oppidi Gardingensis) were placed, not the cross as in the present arms. The origin of the lamb is not known, the patron saints of Garding are St. Bartholomew and St. Christian (who can be seen on the seal of the Gardingerharde, the area around the city). Until 1963 the city used the lamb without a shield as its symbol.
