Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1914, but used since 1913.

The two ships symbolise the old trading center and harbour. To distinguish the arms of the many other arms with ships, it was decided to divide the shield.

 
The arms as shown in the Kaffe Hag album from the 1930s.

Literature : Achen, 1982
