In 1595, the city of Groningen and the Ommelanden or surrounding regions come to an agreement to form a united domain (Шаблон:Lang-nl). The city already had direct control over the regions Gorecht, Oldambt, Reiderland, and Westerwolde. The Ommelanden were Hunsingo, Fivelingo, and Westerkwartier. A new coat of arms was designed for the domain.[1] More than 350 years later, on 30 December 1947, the coat of arms was formally approved by royal decree of Queen Wilhelmina.[1][2]

Heraldic elements

In the coat of arms of the province of Groningen, the escutcheon or heraldic shield is a combination of the escutcheon of the city of Groningen in the first and fourth quarter and the escutcheon of the Ommelanden in the second and third quarter.[1][3]

The escutcheon of the city of Groningen has a golden field with a black double-headed eagle with on its chest another escutcheon with a silver field and a green fess.[1]

The escutcheon of the Ommelanden has a silver field with three diagonal blue bendlets, representing the three regions, and eleven red heart-shaped charges ("pompeblêd"), representing the eleven subregions.[1]

The other elements are a golden coronet or heraldic crown with five leaves and four pearls, and two rampant golden lions supporting the main escutcheon. The lions represent the Netherlands.[1]

Restricted use

The province of Groningen states that the coat of arms may only be used non-commercially.[4]
