Göttingen became a city in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The seals of the city showed until 1662 a castle with three towers, above a lion. In another seal only a lion passant can be seen. The oldest known image of this composition as arms dates from coins of 1441. In the meantime the city also used other arms, showing only a crowned capital letter G. These were widely used, f.e. on the coins of the city. | Göttingen became a city in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century.
