The oldest seals show a ship with the arms on the bow. Kiel has always been an important port and was also a member of the Hanseatic League. The leaf (Nesselblatt, of nettle's leaf) already appeared on the later seals of the city. Later seals always showed either the arms alone or in combination with a ship. The ship inside the leaf appeared only later (15<sup>th</sup> century). First the ship was shown in the leaf like in the present arms, but in the 18-19<sup>th</sup> century the ship was often placed in an escutcheon. | The oldest seals show a ship with the arms on the bow.
