Origin/meaning
The lower half shows a view of the city, which includes the local castle. The castle belonged until 1873 to the Lords of Welck. The rose is taken from their arms. The anchor signifies the importance of shipping on the Elbe.
Around 1900 the city also used a canting giant (Riese) as a crest.
