Summary[edit]

Description Combined arms of the House of Mecklenburg. During the 15th century the Dukes of Mecklenburg gradually acquired the Lordship of Werle and the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Stargard. For Werle the bull's head with extended tongue, but without the skin in the neck was taken, but for Stargard no arms or symbol existed. For unknown reasons, a woman's arm with a ring was chosen as a symbol to represent Stargard in the new arms. (The open mouth of the original Mecklenburg bull was changed into a nose-ring and the bull's head of Werle was rotated 45 degrees.)
