FÜRSTENAU
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Osnabrück (until 1972 Bersenbrück)
Samtgemeinde : Fürstenau
Additions : 1972 Hollenstede, Schwagstorf, Settrup
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
Fürstenau probably received city rights around 1360 from the Bishops of Osnabrück. The oldest seal dates from the same time and shows a single tower with added buildings, probably symbolising the local castle. The above arms were granted in 1949 and show the same composition in the colours of the State of Oldenburg. During the 19th and 20th century the colours were not very consistent, as can be seen from the images below.
