Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 30, 1915.
Örebro received city rights in the 13th century and the oldest known seal of the city dates from that century. The seal already showed an heraldic eagle. It is not known why an eagle was chosen as a symbol for the city. The crescent and star were used on other medieval seals of the city. The symbols probably have a religious origin. When the arms were granted in 1915 the symbols were combined with the eagle and the blue colour was chosen arbitrarily.
