Origin/meaning
Friedrichshagen was founded in 1753 and the oldest known seal of the village dates from 1808. The seal already showed a shield with the same composition as the above arms, an arm holding a rose in the upper part and a fence in the lower half. The arm probably symbolises King Friedrich II, founder of the village.
The flower is a mulberry flower. Friedrichshagen was a village known for the silk manufacturing and spinning.
The fence in the lower half, is a canting element for Hagen (Gehege). The fences were built to protect the village from the wild animals, especially wild boar.
Seal of the city from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
