Coat of arms of Berlin

The coat of arms of Berlin is used by the German city state as well as the city itself. On top of the shield is a special crown, created by the amalgamation of the mural crown of a city with the so-called people's crown (''Volkskrone''), used in Germany to denote a republic. Berlin's various boroughs use their own emblems.
The bear was for many centuries only the charge in one out of three fields in the shield, the others displaying the eagles of Brandenburg and Prussia, respectively.
==Heraldic beast==

The usual coat of arms, in use in different styles until the year 1920, showed the Prussian eagle in the first field, the eagle of Brandenburg in the second field and the bear in the third field.
Berlin's citizens, however, wanted their own symbol and coat of arms. How or why they chose the bear remains unknown. Most likely they were thinking of Albrecht I, nicknamed "the bear", who is considered to have been the conqueror and founder of the Margraviate of Brandenburg. Another possibility is that Berliners decided on canting arms since the first syllable of Berlin sounds like ''"Bär"'' (bear), although the two are not etymologically related. In medieval times canting arms, arms which displayed a charge correspondent to the name, were a favorite; people tried to depict names by use of phonetically similar symbols or rebuses. The real connection between the name and the charge didn't matter much. The name "Berlin" was created when Slavic tribes settled in the area and is an old Slavic name meaning "place at the swamp" or "in a swampy area". Actually, a pearl may have been a more likely choice for canting arms given that the Middle High German word for pearl is "berle". Middle High German was the language spoken at the time and, indeed, pearls were often used in coats of arms.
