Bonn received city rights probably in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal, known since 1250, shows the patron saint, St. Cassius, depicted as a knight. The next seal, dating from the 14<sup>th</sup> century, shows the cross of [[Köln]] and the lion. The area was part of the diocese of Köln. The lion is a symbol for the old 'Dingstuhl' or justice-place. The lion is often named 'Wölfchen' (little wolf) or 'Leopard' and is sometimes shown standing on a boar. On the ante-seals of the city only the lion is shown. | Bonn received city rights probably in the early 13<sup>th</sup> century.
