Unfortunately it is not clear what arms the shield showed. | The oldest seal of Nienburg dates from the early 13<sup>th</sup> century and shows a castle with three towers, with a small shield above the middle tower.

The second seal dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century and shows a divided shield, with on the right half the two bear claws of the Counts of [[Hoya]], and in the left half the castle. The counts of Hoya acquired the city in 1215. When the city was acquired by the Dukes of Celle, the lion of [[Celle]] was added and one of the claws was removed. The arms have not changed since. | The second seal dates from the late 13<sup>th</sup> century and shows a divided shield, with on the right half the two bear claws of the Counts of [[Hoya]], and in the left half the castle.
