Origin/meaning

On July 18, 1908 the arms were officially granted by Emperor Wilhelm II.

Borgholz received city rights in the early 14^th century. The oldest seal dates from 1446 and shows the Bishop of Paderborn in a gate. The city wat the time belonged to the State of Paderborn. In the 17^th century the fleur-de-lys appears on the seals. The fleur-de-lys was the symbol used by the State of Paderbron. Initially the arms showed three lilies.

In 1908 the arms were granted as a single fleur-de-lys in the colours of the State of Paderborn
