Origin/meaning

Lindenhardt was already mentioned as a town in 1280, but the oldest known seal dates from the late 15^th century. The seal already shows the canting dragon (Lindwurm), as did all later seals and images. The dragon is the symbol of the local patron saint, Archangel St. Michael.

The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925
