Kyritz Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, a castle Gules with four towers and wall and port closed, covered with a green inescutcheon with a golden fleur-de-lis.
Meaning:
The arms are based on the oldest known city seal of the city from around 1300. with the small shield of the Lords of Plotho, to which the city belonged in the 13th century. The present arms show the small shield in historical colours (see also Wusterhausen). In the 17th-19th century the arms were also often shown as only a fleur-de-lis Or on blue shield. They had been displayed this way also by Hupp in the late 19th century. During the DDR times the fleur-de-lis was shown as golden on a green field like in the present arms. In the late 1990ies the city used arms with a red fleur-de-lis in a silver inescutcheon., see below. In 2005 the DDR pattern was restored.
