Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 14, 1901.
Kiel became a city in 1242. The arms show the arms of the counts of Schaumburg and a black ship. Kiel was the capital of the counts of Holstein, who descended of the counts of Schaumburg.
The oldest seals show a ship with the arms on the bow. Kiel has always been an important port and was also a member of the Hanseatic League. The leaf (Nesselblatt, of nettle's leaf) already appeared on the later seals of the city. Later seals always showed either the arms alone or in combination with a ship. The ship inside the leaf appeared only later (15th century). First the ship was shown in the leaf like in the present arms, but in the 18-19th century the ship was often placed in an escutcheon.
