The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, dating from the middle of the 15<sup>th</sup> century, see images below. Itzehoe had received city rights in 1238 from Count Adolf IV of Holstein. The seal showed a city wall with two towers, rising from a sea, and between the towers a small shield with the arms of the Counts of Holstein (Nesselblatt or nettle-leaf). The use of the Nesselblatt in a shield continued until 1918. In the present arms the Nesselblatt appears without the shield. | The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, dating from the middle of the 15<sup>th</sup> century, see images below.
