Werder Coat of Arms

[Werder (havel) CoA] image by Jörg Majewski, 23 Mar 2005

Shield parted per pale, at dexter Argent a demi-eagle Gules armed Or couped per pale, at sinister three trefoils Vert in pale.
Meaning:
The arms are based upon a local seal of the city from the 17th century. The eagle is that one of Brandenburg, the trefoils are symbolising agriculture, viticulture und fruit-growing. During DDR times the dexter half was golden, but in 1993 the historical silver tincture was restored.
