Origin/meaning
Marburg was a possession of the Counts of Thüringen, who granted the town city rights in the early 13th century. The arms thus show a knight dresses as a count of Thüringen (most likely Ludwig IV). These arms are based on the oldest, 13th century, seals, that also showed the knight. Smaller seals only showed the helmet and crest of Thüringen, with a letter M as a mark for Marburg. In the 15th and 16th century the helmet with the letter was also used as the arms of the city.
At the same time the lion of Thüringen, with a letter M, was used as the arms of the city. This confusing situation was solved in 1577 when the present arms were adopted. They were again granted in 1895.
