Origin/meaning The arms were granted on July 14, 1911 and confirmed in 1970. The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city. Freudenberg received city rights in 1456 and the oldest seal dates from 1473. The seal already shows a castle. As no colours were known, the arms were granted in 1911 in blue and gold, the colours of Nassau, as the city was part of the county of Nassau-Siegen. Seal from around 1900 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 The arms in the town (image de Ruyers) The arms in the town (image de Ruyers) Contact and Support Contact Facebook Instagram Donate with Paypal Donate with WhyDonate eBay shop Rare heraldic book downloads Partners: Meijerink heraldic bookshop Webaldic heraldic identifying programme Nederlands Genootschap voor Heraldiek Armorial de France Homunculus / Heraldicum Disputationes De Raaf heraldic design Your logo here ?
