City symbol

The left and right towers represent the castle of Absalon.

The greater coat of arms features three helmets of military equipment.

The central feature of the full arms are three towers rising above water.

The water element refers to the city's original name Havn meaning "Harbor" (Latin: Hafnia).

The central tower originally depicted a church building inside that castle.

Two lions act as supporters of the central escutcheon.
