Bergen was the seat of the local court and had a city-like character in the 17<sup>th</sup> century, but it never officially received city rights. The oldest seal of the town dates from the late 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows the lion. The seal was used until the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The later seals also only showed the lion | |||
The lion itself is derived from the arms of the counts of Lüneburg, as the area belonged to Lüneburg since the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. | |||
