The lion is the original arms of the Lords of Diepholz, since 1531, Counts of [[Diepholz]]. The eagle was added to the arms of the family in 1285, through marriage with the Counts of Rietberg. The bear-claws are the arms of the [[Grafschaft Hoya]] and are taken as a symbol of the former district Sulingen, that, since 1582, was part of the territory of the Counts of Hoya. | The lion is the original arms of the Lords of Diepholz, since 1531, Counts of [[Diepholz]].
