Object history

Deutsch: Wappen beruht auf dem bei Erneuerung der Stadtrechte 1752 verliehenem Siegel. Das heutige Stadtwappen wurde im Auftrag der Stadt Jever Ender der 1960er Jahre durch den Heraldiker Hermann Lübbing neugestaltet.

English: The oldest seal of Jever dates from 1347 and shows the patron saint, St. Cyriacus. The present arms are based on the seal made in 1572, at the same time when the city rights were confirmed. The arms show a city wall with three towers, with in the gate a lion. The lion is derived from the arms of the Ostring family, who ruled the city until 1583. The letters DVMG stand for Dorch Vroichen Maria Gnade, which means By favour of Lady Mary, referring to Maria Ostring, who confirmed the city rights.
