Müncheberg Coat of Arms

Shield quartered; 1st quarter Gules a wheel Argent; 2nd quarter Or a fir Vert; 3rd quarter Or, issuant from a triplemount Vert a monk wearing a scapular Argent, holding a shield Argent, charged with an eagle Gules by his right hand and a staff Argent topped by a star by his left hand; 4th quarter Gules masoned Argent.
Meaning:
The area with the settlement Lubes was a donation of the Duke of Silesia to Leubus Monastery and the settlement was called a city in 1232. When the city became a possession of the Archbishopric of Magdeburg in 1253, it had already been renamed and was called Müncheberg. It became a possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg before 1300.
The 3rd quarter displays the old arms of the city. The ensemble is canting, displaying a monk (German: Mönch) on a mount (German: Berg).
