Shield Or, a mount issuant Vert with two trefoils of the same, topped by a wall Gules with four embattlements and two towers of the same with three embattlements each, in chief an impending bull's head caboshed Sable crowned Or .
Meaning:
Goldberg was first mentioned in 1227 as a dominion of the Benedictine Dobbertin Nunnery. It gained city rights in 1248, became a possession of the Lords of Werle in 1256 and of the Dukes of Mecklenburg in 1436. The arms are based on a city seal with prints since 1309. The mount in a golden field is a canting element. The bull' head is that one of the Parchim-Rickenberg branch of the Princes of Mecklenburg, the first known local rulers. Wall and towers are stressing the rank of a city.

Shield Gules, two croziers Or in saltire, in chief a prince's coronet Or, in base an inescutcheon Argent charged with a double headed eagle Sable.
Meaning:
The coronet is representing Zidderich, as dominion of the grand dukes, but it is also alluding to the fact that all villages of the municipality belonged historically to the (Grand-) Duchy of Mecklenburg. The croziers are symbolising the monasteries of Neukloster and Dobbertin. Both owned estates in the area. The inescutcheon displays the arms of the Below kin, who founded Techentin proper.
