The wolf is taken from the arms of the Lords of Borde, who granted the city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The wolf already appears in the oldest seal of the city, dating from around 1450. The crown was added in the 16<sup>th</sup> century, but at first it was placed above the wolf, later the wolf became crowned. The wolf is in the course of the centuries often seen as jumping or running, sometimes facing left, but mainly (as in the picture) facing right. | The wolf is taken from the arms of the Lords of Borde, who granted the city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
