Meaning:
Though the Quedlinburg arms display the Imperial (one-headed) eagle, its coat of arms is not listed by Siebmacher (1605) among the arms of Free Imperial Cities. It probably was in use for centuries by customary law. Depictions often changed in details. The current pattern is based on the eagle, painted by Adolf Matthias Hildebrandt (1844 - 1918) in 1882.The draft of the current version was made by Jörg Mantzsch.
