List of coats of arms in Brandenburg

This list with its sub-lists, which can be reached via the navigation bar at the end of the page, contains - sorted according to the administrative structure - all the coats of arms of the state of Brandenburg listed in Wikipedia . However, over half of the state's 420 cities and municipalities (as of September 1, 2006) do not have their own coat of arms. In contrast, numerous coats of arms of formerly independent places that were incorporated during the administrative reform from 2001 to 2003 are listed. This list should therefore not only show the coats of arms, but also the information about which coats of arms and information is missing in Wikipedia or which municipalities do not have a coat of arms.

As can already be seen in the coat of arms of Brandenburg, the eagle is a common coat of arms symbol. Furthermore, the tree stands out as a symbol that is often used in the coat of arms structure - an indication of the country's abundance of forests.

The constitution of the state of Brandenburg was only enacted on August 20, 1992 and is therefore very brief on this topic: Article 4. National colors and coats of arms. “The national colors are red and white. The state coat of arms is the red march eagle on a white field. "
