Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on May 7, 2012.

The ladder is taken from the arms of the city of Brüssow, the seal of the Amt. The 8 steps refer to the originally 8 municipalities that formed the Amt in 1992, with the city of Brüssow as the main vertical part of the ladder. The carms show the Oder and Welse rivers and a catfish as a typical fish for these rivers. The five Yellow Water Lily (Nuphar lutea) flowers symbolise the five municipalities in 2012 (until 2021 Schöneberg was also part of the Amt).
