Ueckermünde Coat of Arms

Shield Argent, a griffin rampant Gules armed Or crested by a helm Azure bulged Gules with brooches and necklace Or, scarves Gules and Argent, and on top a double initial "VV" Or.
Meaning:
Duke Barnim I of Pommern-Stettin gained the area in 1259 as a fiefdom of the Bishopric of Cammin and granted city rights in 1260/1276. Thje arms are based on a seal from 1284. The griffin is alluding to the Dukes of Pommern as local rulers. The inscription in the crest, looking like a "W" is actually an "UU" as abbreviation of "urbs ucra", i.e. the city upon Uecker River
