The arms are based on the arms of the Counts of Lüchow, who ruled the city in medieval times, and who became extinct in 1318. The oldest known seal of the city dates from the 13<sup>th</sup> century and shows already the above arms.

Since the middle of the 20<sup>th</sup> century the city again uses only the oldest arms. | The arms are based on the arms of the Counts of Lüchow, who ruled the city in medieval times, and who became extinct in 1318.
