SANDAU (ELBE)
State : Sachsen-Anhalt
District (Kreis) : Stendal
Official blazon
In Gold eine schwarz gefugte, rote Burg, bestehend aus einer gezinnten Mauer und zwei Türmen mit beknauften Spitzdächern und je einer Fensteröffnung; die Türme verbunden durch ein abgeflachtes Dach mit aufgesetztem beknauften Kegel; darunter ein blau gekleideter heiliger Mauritius mit Brustharnisch und gegürtetem silbernen Schwert, in der Linken einen von Rot und Silber geteilten Schild, in der Rechten eine blaue Lanze mit silbernem, rot bekreuzten Fähnlein halten.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1996.
The arms were designed in 1361 by order of Emperor Charles IV. Previously the city used on its seals the same castle, but with the eagle of Brandenburg between the towers. As the city became a possession of the Archbishops of Magdeburg, the patron saint of the diocese of Magdeburg, St. Mauritius replaced the eagle.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
 The arms during DDR times, until 1996 |
