Origin/meaning
Hardegsen received city rights in 1383 from Duke Otto von Braunschweig-Göttingen, but the horse already appears on a slightly older seal of the city. At first the horse was shown without a shield, but later seals all showed the horse on a shield. All later seals and images have shown the horse, sometimes facing left, but most often facing right as in the present arms. The horse itself is most likely the horse of Lower-Saxony (Niedersachsen, see the State arms). The colours were first mentioned in 1891 and have not changed since.
