Rethem received city rights in 1353 from Otto and Wilhelm, Dukes of Lüneburg. The lion is the arms of the Welfen dynasty, from which the Dukes of Lüneburg descended. The oldest seal of the city showed the lion in a city gate. Since the 15<sup>th</sup> century the lion appeares on a shield on the seals and all othe images. Until the late 17<sup>th</sup> century the lion faced the other direction, probably to distinguish the arms from the arms of [[Bleckede]] and [[Fallersleben]], both of which show the same lion. In the late 18<sup>th</sup> century the lion is shown as in the present arms. | Rethem received city rights in 1353 from Otto and Wilhelm, Dukes of Lüneburg.
