Origin/meaning
Freiburg received town rights in 1271 and the oldest seals of the city date from before 1300.
The oldest seal already showed a fortified gate and two crossed keys. The gate most likely symbolises the strong castle built in the village in 1154 by the Archbishops of Bremen. The city was a longtime possession of the archbishops. The keys also are the symbol of the diocese of Bremen. The colours again are derived from the colours of Bremen.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
