Origin/meaning
The town became a city in the 13th century, and the first seal dates from 1309. It showed two crosses, the symbol for St. Peter, the patron saint of Minden; the city at the time was ruled by the Bishops of Minden. In the first decade of the 14th century the Dukes of Lüneburg acquired the city. The second known seal, dating from 1318, thus showed the lion of the Dukes of Lüneburg. Ever since the city uses the lion, at first passant, and since the 17th century in the present shape.
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
