Wappen von Dessau

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on July 4, 1994 and previously in 1951.

The arms show in the upper part the arms of the Princes of Anhalt and in the lower part the arms of he Lords of Waldeser. The city was part of Sachsen-Anhalt and the Lords of Waldeser had their castle close to the city. The city used only the arms of Sachsen-Anhalt in the seals dating from the 16th century. The mural crown indicates the freedom and strength of the city.

In 1933 the city added a small escutcheon with the local church, as the oldest seals of the city showed the church. These arms, which were never officially granted, were in use until 1951, see image below.
