Origin/meaning
The name of the town was previously Münden, Münden an der Werra, Hannoversch Münden or Hannoverisch Münden. The official present name is Hann. Münden, but Hannoversch Münden is also still used.
Hann. Münden received city rights in 1247 from Duke Otto of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows already the same composition as the above arms; several towers and in the gate a shield with the lion of the Dukes of Braunschweig. The composition did not change until the 19th century, although the size and shape of the towers, gate and shield differed widely. In the late 19th century the town's initial was added on the main tower and the middle tower was crowned. The colours are unchanged since the late 19th century.
