=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
Osterode became a city in 1238 by the Welfen family. The first seal, dating from the middle of the 13<sup>th</sup> century shows the lion of the Welfen family below a walled city. In 1234 it was mentioned that Osterode had city walls. The cross is probably the sign of St. John Baptist, the patron saint of the city. | |||
The arms never really changed through the centuries, except that until the 19<sup>th</sup> century a crowned O often was placed below the lion. | |||
