coat of arms
The coat of arms of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district draws on the design elements of the coat of arms of the old Marzahn district. The district of Hellersdorf with its districts was part of the Marzahn district before it was founded. Nevertheless, the district assembly did not want to adopt the old Marzahn coat of arms for the new district. The district office formed a coat of arms commission , which commissioned the heraldist Lutz Döring to design the new coat of arms. Today's coat of arms was awarded on October 7, 2003 by the Berlin Senate .
Description of the coat of arms: In a green shield a slanting left silver wave bar , above a golden sheaf of corn with five ears of wheat, below a silver gear . A red three-tower wall crown rests on the shield , the central tower of which is covered with the Berlin coat of arms .
Justification of the coat of arms: The corn sheaf with ears of corn symbolizes the centuries-long agricultural character of all parts of the district, and the five ears of corn refer to the five districts of Biesdorf, Hellersdorf, Kaulsdorf, Mahlsdorf and Marzahn, which make up the district. The wave bar stands for the Wuhle , which flows through the district from north to south, and the many waters of the district. The green tinging of the sign stands for the spacious green areas and parks. As in the old coat of arms of Marzahn, the gear symbolizes the strong industrialization of the district in the 20th century. The crown of the wall is the connecting element of all Berlin districts .
