Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on September 14, 1908.

The arms are based on the 14th century seal of the city, which was founded in 1318 by Bishop Dietrich of Paderborn. The arms show the city, with Bishop Dietrich in the gate. On both sides of the bishops there is half a fleur-de-lis, the symbol used by the bishops on coins. During the centuries the shape of the bishop has changed regularly. Originally the bishop held a book and crosier, but at present the crosier is just placed in front of the bishop.
