In a golden (=yellow) shield shifted to the dexter side, is a black bull's head caboshed,crowned golden (=golden), armed silver (= white) and tongued red. At his sinister side ia a green tree of linden type (German: lindenartig)
Meaning:
The bull's head is symbolising Mecklenburg. According to Stefan Schwoon the green colour of the sheet is the same like the colour of the bush/tree. the arms are base on the oldest city seal from the 13th century. The currrent pattern was first displayed in 1618 and an amendation was made in 1858.
