===Origin/meaning===
The arms are based on the seal of the town, known since around 1400. The meaning of the three oaks, however, is not known. In 1880 the city placed three shields on the trees, one of Sachsen-Lauenburg, one of Hamburg and one divided of Hamburg and Lübeck (see seal below). These three shields each represent part of the history of the town, when it was ruled by the Counts of Sachsen-Lauenburg or the cities.

These three shields each represent part of the history of the town, when it was ruled by the Counts of Sachsen-Lauenburg or the cities.  In the 1920s (?) the shields were removed again.
 
In the late 19th century also arms appeared with only the divided shield of Lübeck and Hamburg, see below, these were the arms of the former Amt Bergedorf. The Amt Bergedorf was ruled jointly by the two cities from 1420-1867, when the Amt was only ruled by Hamburg.  The seal of the Amt was designed in 1620 when the two cities appointed a special Amtmann (governor).  


In the late 19th century also arms appeared with only the divided shield of Lübech and Hamburg, see below, but as far as I know not on any official city document.


In the 1920s (?) the shields were removed again.
