Origin/meaning
Göttingen became a city in the early 13th century. The seals of the city showed until 1662 a castle with three towers, above a lion. In another seal only a lion passant can be seen. The oldest known image of this composition as arms dates from coins of 1441. In the meantime the city also used other arms, showing only a crowned capital letter G. These were widely used, f.e. on the coins of the city.
These two designs have been used both during the 19th and 20th centuries, with presently the above arms as official city arms. In the late 19th century the arms were combined, with the castle and lion on the shield, and the crowned G as a crest. At the same time two lion supporters were used (see image below). These arms are still used, although a crest is not official in Germany.
