Object history
Deutsch: Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts zierte der rote Adler der Markgrafen von Brandenburg das Wappenbild dieser Stadt. Das heutige Wappen beruht auf einer Begebenheit des Jahres 1425, als Kurfürst Friedrich I. einmal außerhalb der Mark Brandenburg weilte und die beiden Bürgermeister von Prenzlau die Pommern in die Stadt ließen. Ein Jahr später hatte sie der amtliche Regent, Markgraf Johann von Brandenburg, wieder vertrieben, und die Stadt war wieder brandenburgisch. Johann ließ die beiden Bürgermeister enthaupten und verfügte, dass Prenzlau zur ewigen Schande keinen freiblickenden, sondern lediglich einen mit Turnierhelm verkappten Adler im Wappen führen dürfe. Die nachfolgenden Bürgermeister bemühten sich vergeblich, das alte Wappen zurückzuerhalten. Der Schwan im unteren Teil des Schildes geht auf eine Verfügung von König Friedrich I. von Preußen zurück, der zwischen 1700 und 1705 häufig nach Prenzlau zur Schwanenjagd auf den Ueckerseen kam.
English: Prenzlau today is the seat of Uckermark County, the largest county in Germany. A settlement of the Dukes of Pomerania existed since 1128, a market and a church since 1188. 1250 the Margraves of Brandenburg acquired the market town. In 1287 city walls were established, and since then the settlement probably had been a city. 1685 Huguenots settled down here. At the end of the 13th century city seals displayed just the eagle of the Margraves of Brandenburg. The helmet is reminding on an episode from 1425. The two mayors of the city surrendered and overhanded the city to the Pomeranians. Next year the margraves regained the city and the mayors had been beheaded. The eagle of Brandenburg since then had a helmet as a mark of abatement. The shape and colour of the helmet changed in the past. The lower half of the shield was added in 1705 by Prussian King Friedrich I, who hunted swans in the region.
