AHAUS
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen

Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on April 14, 1978, but have been in use much longer.
The town was founded around the castle built by the Lords of Diepenheim in the 12th century. It was obtained by the bishops of Münster in 1406, who made it their capital in Lippe. The present arms are based on the 15th century seal of the city. It shows the arms of the Lords of Ahaus (descendants of the Von Diepenheims), with additional bars in the first and fourth quarter, to discriminate between the town and family.
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
Literature : Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes; Hupp, O: Kaffee Hag albums, 1920s
