Origin/meaning

Hachenburg got city rights in 1314 from the Counts of Sayn. The arms show a gate and the arms of the Counts of Sayn. The arms were granted in the present colours in 1936. These arms are used on seals and architecture from at least 1292 until the 18^th century. Besides these arms, arms with a single bell were used in 1636, arms with a fountain in the 18^th century and during most of the last century only the lion was used. In 1909 the present arms were granted, the colours were changed in 1936.
