Shield Or, a bull's head caboshed Sable, crowned Or, armed Argent, tongued Gules, flanked by two facetted 6-point stars Gules.
Meaning:
The Lübz region belonged to the Lordship of Parchim since 1229 and afterwards to the Lordship of Werle. It was conquered by the Margraves of Brandenburg at the beginning of the 14th century. The margraves built the Eldenburg Castle in 1308. In 1317 the village was given to Lord Heinrich II of Mecklenburg as a Brandenburgian fiefdom. Between 1352 and 1471 it was seat of a parish and belonged to the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Stargard. It gained city rights after 1456. Between 1734 and 1787 it was pawned to Prussia. Lübz is famous for its sugar mill and especially for its brewery.
The arms are based on a city seal. The existence of prints is proven since 1670. The bull's head is taken from the arms of the Duchy of Mecklenburg, since 1815 Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The stars had been considered as mere ornaments, but they were kept, in order to distinguish the arms from those of Rehna City.

Shield Or a bull passant Sable, base Azure five bezants ordered 3:2.
Meaning:
The bull is taken from the arms of the Plessen kin. Supporting the cause of Mecklenburg against Brandenburg the family became pawnees of the village. In 1625/1627 the Dukes of Mecklenburg regained complete control. The base is a modification of the family arms of the Bülow kin, which displayed 14 bezants on a blue shield. The blazon of the municipal arms says "golden balls" instead of "bezants".
