Preetz received city rights in 1870 and the above arms were adopted a little later and confirmed in 1979. The wavy bar is a canting element, the name is derived from the Slav words for 'on the river'. The perch in the upper half symbolises the importance of fishing. The lower half of the arms shows the arms of the Counts of Holstein, as the area historically was ruled by these counts. | Preetz received city rights in 1870 and the above arms were adopted a little later and confirmed in 1979.

Until 1979 the lower half showed a small shield within the 'neselblatt' of Holstein, see images below. | |||
