Grömitz Municipal Coat of Arms

Description of coat of arms: The shield is divided per pale. The dexter side shows a half silver (= white) nettle leaf in a red field. The sinister side shows in a silver (= white) field a half black, double headed eagle, armed and nimbed golden (= yellow).
Meaning:
The arms are based upon a medieval seal. Grömitz was first mentioned in 1287. Since 1315 a palace of the counts of Schauenburg existed here. The half nettle leaf is representing the counts as former rulers. Since 1322 Grömitz belonged to the Benedictine monastery of Cismar. Grömitz gained city rights according ro Lübeck Laws from 1440 until 1480. The seal was used in this time. The eagle however is not the eagle of the Hansa city of Lübeck. It is the eagle of St.John, the evangelist, who was the patron saint of Cismar monastery.
