The arms may be canting (the German name is Lauenburg, Löwenburg = lion's castle). The oldest known seals, both dating from the 15<sup>th</sup> century, show a griffin (the symbol of Pommerania) between the towers of a castle. The same image can be seen on seals in the 16<sup>th</sup> century. It is likely that the griffin in later times was replaced by the lion, but this is not clear. | The arms may be canting (the German name is Lauenburg, Löwenburg = lion's castle).
