Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1860.

The arms show the imaginary arms of the Lords of Papenburg and were adopted by the town in 1807. In 1860 when the town became a city the arms were officially granted. The bordure was added during this century. The colours are non-heraldic, and thus probably are based on a mistake made in 1807. Before 1807 the town used in its seals a ship, to emphasize the importance of sailing and trading.

The arms as shown in 1891	Seal from around 1900
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925	The arms in the Abadie albums
