Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 7, 1994.
The arms already appeared on the seal of the city from the 13th century. The eagle is the eagle of the Margraves of Brandenburg, who acquired the city in the 13th century.
The wolf and tree are maybe canting elements for the second part of the name. There is also a legend on the name and the arms :
In the old times the first settlers build the first huts of the later-Pritzwalk were of Slavonic origin. They chopped trees to get some wood for buildings. One of these trees was the one is shown on the city arms. When this tree felt down to ground in its roots a great wolf appeared. The settlers screamed something like "Prit wolk!" which meant "Go away, wolf!" in their Slavonic language... Later these two words became "Pritzwalk".
