Beeskow Coat of Arms

Shield Gules, issuant from base a Gothic porticus Argent with four pinnacles, superimposed by two escutcheons, at dexter in bend sinister Gules charged with three scythe blades Argent ordered per pale, at sinister Or charged with an antler Gules.
Meaning:
The porticus is not representing a local building. It developed from four batons on the shield crest, representing four bishops by their (reduced) croziers. Beeskow belonged to the Bishopric of Lebus since 1518. The first local rulers had been the Lords of Strehla. Their family arms are depicted on the dexter escutcheon. The sinister escutcheon displays the family arms of the Lords of Biberstein, local rulers a few times, at last from 1512 until 1551. They became extinct in 1551 and Beeskow then became a possession of the Margraves of Brandenburg. Beeskow is the seat of Oder-Spree County.
