The arms show the arms of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, who granted the city rights to Winsen around 1292. The oldest seal dates from the same time and is known since 1318. In a second seal, dating from the 14<sup>th</sup> century, the hearts were replaced by small crosses to distinguish the arms of the city from those from the dukes. In the 19<sup>th</sup> century, however, the hearts were officially restored and have been used since. The city, however, has used the hearts on paper and on buildings for many centuries.
