Origin/meaning
The arms show the arms of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, who granted the city rights to Winsen around 1292. The oldest seal dates from the same time and is known since 1318. In a second seal, dating from the 14th century, the hearts were replaced by small crosses to distinguish the arms of the city from those from the dukes. In the 19th century, however, the hearts were officially restored and have been used since. The city, however, has used the hearts on paper and on buildings for many centuries. But the seal showed the crosses.
