Hann. Münden received city rights in 1247 from Duke Otto of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows already the same composition as the above arms; several towers and in the gate a shield with the lion of the Dukes of Braunschweig. The composition did not change until the 19<sup>th</sup> century, although the size and shape of the towers, gate and shield differed widely. In the late 19<sup>th</sup> century the town's initial was added on the main tower and the middle tower was crowned. The colours are unchanged since the late 19<sup>th</sup> century. | Hann.
