The supporter is St. Andrew (Andreas) with his symbol, the cross. The oldest seal of Norden, dating from 1498, already shows St. Andrew.

This family had much influence in the city, but is not known when the city adopted the spurs. | The supporter is St. Andrew (Andreas) with his symbol, the cross.
