In Gold ein linkssehender, schwarzbewehrter golden gerauteter roter Adler. Den oberen Schildrand ziert eine gewölbte fünfzinnige rote Mauerkrone.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1957 and again on April 27, 1994.
Potsdam was already an important town in the 10th century, which became a possession of the Counts of Brandenburg in the 12th century. The city rights were granted either at the end of the 13th or early in the 14th century. The city gradually became an important city in Brandenburg.
The arms show the eagle of Brandenburg. The city has always used the eagle of Brandenburg in arms and seals. The oldest seal is known from 1450, but is older as judged from the style. The colours are known since 1753, but most likely have been the same since its foundation.
