Origin/meaning

Vörden was founded as a village near the castle of the Bishops of Osnabrück in the early 14^th century. In 1391 a council is mentioned, but the oldest seal of the council dates from the early 15^th century. It shows the wheel of the State of Osnabrück, but with fewer spokes (compare also Melle). The colours are also the colours of the State of Osnabrück.
