The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city of Drakenburg, known from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century.

Later seals of Drakenburg do not longer show the claw, as after the 30-years war the counts played no role in the area anymore. | The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city of Drakenburg, known from the early 17<sup>th</sup> century.
