The oldest seal of Homberg dates already from 1234, before the city officially received city rights. All seals until the 16<sup>th</sup> century show a castle or city wall, with the barred lion of the Counts of Hessen, to which the city belonged. In a seal from 1536 the lion was facing left, instead of the more common right. The present arms are based on this last seal. | The oldest seal of Homberg dates already from 1234, before the city officially received city rights.
