coat of arms

Description of coat of arms :
In the split shield in front in silver (white) a red anchor cross, behind in black a silver key with a beard on the right and above.
The coat of arms was valid until December 31, 1969.

Meaning:
The red anchor cross is that of the county of Waldeck-Pyrmont, to which Lügde belonged until 1668, the silver key that of the Archbishopric of Cologne. The coat of arms of the district of Lügde and the city before the municipal reform corresponds to the coat of arms of today's city of Lügde without the Lippe rose, which only found its way into the current city arms after the founding of the large municipality in 1971, when former Lippe municipalities came to Lügde.
