Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 29, 1976.
Duderstadt received city rights in 1247 from Duke Otto van Braunschweig. The oldest seal is known from 1255 and shows the two leopards of Braunschweig. All later great seals of the city have shown the two leopards. The small seals on the other hand showed shields with only a single leopard. Coloured images of the arms, always with 2 leopards, are known since 1592.
The arms were slightly changed after the mergers in 1973; the blue colour of the nails and tongue was added, which was more historically correct.
The previous arms of Duderstadt:
 Seal from around 1900 |
 The arms in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
