Shield parted per pale; at dexter Argent a demi-eagle Gules, couped per pale, armed and tongued Or with a cloverstem Or upon his wing; at sinister chequered of Sable and Argent (3:7).
Meaning:
Landin is the cradle of the Uckermark and was first mentioned in 1250. The treaty of Landin, was arranged between the Margraves Johann I and Otto III of Brandenburg and Duke Barnim of Pomerania. The region of the Slavic tribes of the Ukrians, name givers of the Uckermark, and Retshians became a possession of the Askanian margraves, who ceded the region around Wolgast to the Dukes of Pomerania. The eagle in the arms is a differentiation of the Brandenburg arms. The chess board can be found in the church of Schönermark, built in 1250.
