Shield Vert a throughout bridge Or masoned Sable with one arch, beneath a sinister facing swan najant Argent armed Sable on a base wavy Or, issuant from bridge an oak Argent with acorns Or, flanked by an impending carriage wheel Or at dexter and an impending railway wheel Or at sinister.
Meaning:
The acorns are representing the eight settlement cores, the oak the connecting municipality. Swan and base wavy are canting elements, representing the former municipality of Schwanebeck (= swan's creek). Bridge wheels and oak had also been parts of the arms of the former municipality of Zepernick, however in different tinctures. The wheels are alluding to the connection between Berlin and Stettin. Zepernick became a railway station of the Berlin-Stettin-Railway in 1888.
