Wappen von Barth/Arms (crest) of Barth
Official blazon
German

Geteilt; oben in Silber ein hersehender braun behaarter und bebarteter Mannskopf; unten in Blau drei schrägrechte silberne Fische, balkenweise gestellt. Auf dem Schild ein blau-silbern bewulsteter Bügelhelm mit goldenem Halskleinod und blau-silbernen Decken, geschmückt mit fünf silbernen Straußenfedern

Origin/meaning

Barth grew around a castle of the Princes of Rügen, built around 1200. In 1225 a Earl of Barth was mentioned, in 1232 the town itself. In the late 13th century Barth received city rights.

The arms show in the upper part a head, with a canting beard (Bart). The head already appears on a seal from 1404. The meaning or date of addition of the three fish is not known. The oldest seal of the city is known from around 1300 and only shows a ship with two bearded heads on each end.
