Origin/meaning
The arms was approved in 1948 and again for the enlarged Kungsback in 1974. The Seal of the City of Kungsbacka, known since the 1580ies show a Female Saint.
As the city church was dedicated to St Gertrud, it is thought that the seal represents her. But the Attribute of St Gertrud is a Church Model not a staff.
The City however wanted the Figure with a Staff, and so it was approved.
 The arms as shown by Liljeblad, 1878 |
 The arms in the Kaffe Hag album +/- 1935 |
Literature: Nevéus and de Waern, 1992
