Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 10, 1858.
Wittenburg received city rights in the early 13th century and belonged to the County Schwerin until 1201, when it became a possession of the Dukes of Mecklenburg.
The arms were officially adopted in 1858, but were based on the oldest seals of the city, known since 1296. The arms show a castle and two figures, described as tapeworms, taken from the arms of a branch of the Counts of Schwerin.
Seal from 1351 |
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Postal cancellation 1976 |
