Shield Argent a chevronel Azure, issuant from base an embattled wall with embattled tower, all Gules and masoned Sable with port Or, above the tower an impending griffin passant Gules armed Or.
Meaning:
Eggesin was first mentiohned as a village in 1216. It gained city rights in 1966. The blue chevronel is symbolising the confluence of the rivers Uecker and Randow, both being name givers of the former county. The embattled wall is symbolising the rank of a city. The griffin is taken from the arms of Pommern, to which Eggesin historically belonged.

Shield parted per fess wavy; above Argent a house Argent fimbriated Sable with roof, half timber, door and windows of the same, flanked by two firs Vert, the lowest inward branch of both is mutilated; beneath Azure a sinister facing fish Argent.
Meaning:
The line of partition is symbolising the location on the shores of the Baltic. The house, actually being a hutting (German: Bude) is a canting element. The firs are representing the surrounding groves, their mutilated branches the forest clearances in the past. The fish is symbolising fishery as former main business line. The basic tinctures are those of Vorpommern.
