Origin/meaning

Harburg was in the 13^th century part of a large imperial estate, and the oldest known seal, dating from the late 13^th century, thus shows the imperial eagle. All later seals and images have shown the eagle and the arms thus have not changed since. Only the colour of the field has sometimes been changed to silver instead of gold.
