Wappen von Kiel/Coat of arms (crest) of Kiel

Line 15:

The arms were officially granted on May 14, 1901.

Kiel became a city in 1242. The arms show the arms of the counts of Schaumburg and a black ship. Kiel was the capital of the counts of Holstein, who descended of the counts of Schaumburg. ~~The leaf (Nesselblatt, of nettle's leaf) already appeared on the first seals of the city.~~ 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. Later seals always showed either the arms alone or in combination with a ship. The ship inside the leaf appeared only later (15th century). First the ship was shown in the leaf like in the present arms, but in the 18-19th century the ship was often placed in an escutcheon.
