SCHLESWIG

State : Schleswig-Holstein
District (Kreis) : Schleswig-Flensburg (until 1970 Schleswig)

Wappen von Schleswig

Official blazon

In Blau über blauen und silbernen Wellen auf torloser goldener Zinnenmauer ein goldener Zinnenturm, den eine zugewendete goldene Mondsichel und ein sechsstrahliger goldener Stern begleiten.

Origin/meaning

Schleswig was already an important town in the 10th century and seat of a bishop since 934. In 1100 the city was enlarged and became the capital of the newly formed Duchy of Schleswig, formed by the Kings of Denmark. The oldest seals date from the early 13th century and already show the same composition.

The present arms were granted in 1935 and based on the oldest seal. The colours are not historical, but are based on the colours of the Duchy of Schleswig. The castle is the local castle, the moon and crescent are probably religious symbols. The waves symbolise the bay of Schlei.
