Dortmund is an old city and received city rights in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The city was a free Imperial City and was thus entitled to use the Imperial Eagle in its arms and seals. The oldest great seal of the city, which is known since 1241 shows a city wall with a church or tower behind it. The secret and small seals of the city, however, used only the Imperial Eagle. From these the eagle was placed in the arms. Contrary to the Imperial arms, the field was generally shown as silver. | Dortmund is an old city and received city rights in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century.
