===Official blazon===
===Origin/meaning===
(de) Oben in Blau auf silbernem Bogen drei silberne rotbedachte Türme, der mittlere mit goldenem Knauf und begleitet von vier goldenen Kugeln (2:2), die seitlichen vierfenstrig, mit goldener Kreuzblume; unten in Rot ein linkshin schreitender blaubewehrter goldener Löwe.
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.


===Origin/meaning===
These two designs have been used both during the 19th and 20th centuries, with presently the above arms as official city arms. In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the arms were combined, with the castle and lion on the shield, and the crowned G as a crest. At the same time two lion supporters were used (see image below). These arms are still used, although a crest is not official in Germany.
