Origin/meaning
Hamborn received city rights in 1911 and adopted arms derived from the arms of Alexander von Horst, last Abbot of the Hamborn Abbey. The arms were never officially granted, but were used until 1929. Originally the lion should hold miner's tools in its claws, symbolising the importance of mining for the city, but hese were not used.
Seal from around 1900 |
