Königslutter received city rights around 1405. The oldest seal probably dates from the same time, but the oldest known copy dates from 1470. The lion is the lion of the Welfen dynasty, as the city was a possession of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg from this dynasty. The waves symbolise the Lutter stream in the municipality. | Königslutter received city rights around 1405.
