Barnstorf received town rights in 1546 and the oldest seals of the town date from the same time. The present arms are based on this seal and show the lion of the Counts of Diepholz, who ruled the town until 1585. | Barnstorf received town rights in 1546 and the oldest seals of the town date from the same time.
