Bodenwerder received city rights in 1287 from the Lords of Homburg. The first seal dates from the same time and the present arms are based on this seal. The lion is taken from the arms of the Lords of Homburg, the city wall and towers indicate the fortified character of the new city. The only later addition is the small crozier, which was added in the 14<sup>th</sup> century as a symbol for the Bishops of Minden, who now ruled the city. In 1409 the city became a possession of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, but that did not change the seal or arms. | Bodenwerder received city rights in 1287 from the Lords of Homburg.
