Hagen Coat of Arms

Shield Azure an eradicated oak Or.
Meaning:
The arms are canting, Hag (or Wald) meaning forest, represented by a golden, eradicated oak. Hagen gained city rights in 1746 from King Friedrich II of Prussia. At the same time the first seal is known, which shows a canting forest. It was, however, also interpreted as a (natural) lily. In the 19th century the city thus sometimes used arms with two lilies. In 1897 the current arms were approved, based on the oldest seal. Originally a mural crown was added to the arms, but this is no longer used. According to Veddeler 2003, p.134 the flag colours are those taken from the coat of arms.

The flag probably never was approved officially.
