Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 8, 1997.

The arms are a combination of the arms of three rulers of the area. The boar's head is taken from the arms of the Counts, later Princes, Von Hardenberg , who acquired the village Quilitz in 1811 and named it Neuhardenberg.

The Maltese cross is the symbol of the Order of St. John, to which the village of Quilitz belonged until 1763. The lower half is taken from the arms of the Von Prittwitz family, which acquired Quilitz in 1763 until they sold it in 1811 .
