SCHLESWIG-FLENSBURG (SL)
State : Schleswig-Holstein
Additions : 1974 Schleswig, Flensburg
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on November 12, 1974.
The arms are derived from the old arms of the Schleswig, which showed three lions. The two lions each in a separate field, symbolise the two former districts. The waves in the base of the shield symbolise the Baltic Sea and the many inlets and bays in the district.
