Leer Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms:
In a blue shield is a silver (= white) initial "L" crowned by a rose flanked by two facetted, 6-point mullets, all of the same colour.
Meaning:
In the 16th century under the rule of the Cirksena kin Leer gained market privileges ansd in 1585 a market charter (Fleckensordnung) was edited. Probably since then the town was entitled to use own seals. The oldest seal from 1632 already displays the current pattern. Stars and rose probably had been local symbols. The town gained city rights in 1823 and used from 1861 until 1950 a different coat of arms: a silver castle in a red shield topped by a passant Guelfish lion and the whole superimposed by a red inescutcheon displaying the Saxonian horse.
Source: Stadler 1970, p.55

The current coat of arms was approved in 1950 by minister of interior of Lower Saxony.
