Origin/meaning
Lingen was granted city rights in 1306. The oldest seal is lost, but it seems to have shown a bull's head, taken from the arms of Count Nikolaus I of Tecklenburg (who was of the Schwerin dynasty, the arms of Schwerin are a bull's head), between two unidentified symbols. The second seal of the city dates probably from the 14th century, and shows three towers. All later seals and images of the arms show three towers. The shape and size of the towers differs widely, but the basic image never changed. In the 18th century two lions as supporters and a crown were added. These are still sometimes used.
