Origin/meaning

Münster became a city in the early 13^th century. The first seal shows a gate with the patron saint of the city, St. Paul.

The arms do not appear in official seals before 1535, although in a seal of the Antonius hospital from 1368 it is shown. The origin of the colours is not known. In the 15^th century two griffins were used as supporters, later two lions were used. At present there are no supporters used.
