Origin/meaning

Bad Pyrmont developed in the 16^th century as a city around the mineral spa. The oldest known seal, dating from 1848, shows a savage with an esculape and snake for the spa, and holding a shield with a cross. These arms are the arms of the 13^th century Counts of Pyrmont, who had their castle on the Schellenberg mountain near the city. The arms have been used by all their successors until the present day.
