AARHUS (1948-2010 ÅRHUS)
Region : Midtjylland

Origin/meaning
The arms are derived from the old seal of the city, known since 1356, but dating from around 1250. The arms were formally registered in 1938.
The arms show St. Clement with the anchor and St. Paul with the sword, the two patron saints of the local cathedral. In some old versions of the seal and/or arms, the two saints are holding oars. This is due to a misunderstanding of the city name as Åre-hus, oar-house. Actually it is from Å-os, or river mouth. Two later, smaller, seals only show the oars, either free, or in an oar-house.
