Husum was already an important town in the 14<sup>th</sup> century, but received its city rights much later, in 1603. The oldest seal dates from the 15<sup>th</sup> century and already shows the present arms. The gate shows the privilege obtained in 1465 that allowed to built a wooden fence and gates around the villages of Wester- and Öster-Husum. The two lions are the lions of the Duchy of Schleswig, in which Husum was situated. | Husum was already an important town in the 14<sup>th</sup> century, but received its city rights much later, in 1603.
