===Origin/meaning=== | |||
Hamburg developed around a small fortress, used by the people as a refuge in the early Middle Ages (6<sup>th</sup>-9<sup>th</sup> century). In 831 an Archishop of Hamburg was mentioned, in 835 already an Archbishop. It is not quite sure when the village became a city, probably in the early 12<sup>th</sup> century. <br> | Hamburg developed around a small fortress, used by the people as a refuge in the early Middle Ages (6<sup>th</sup>-9<sup>th</sup> century).

In 1188 the new-city or Neustadt was founded by Count Adolf of Schauenburg-Holstein. In 1215 the two cities were united under the counts of Holstein, and since 1461 the Kings of Denmark. Although the Kings of Denmark were the official overlords, the city was practically independent. | In 1188 the new-city or Neustadt was founded by Count Adolf of Schauenburg-Holstein.

The oldest known seal dates from 1241, on which is shown a castle made of three towers. The cross on the middle tower as well as the two stars are already present. The middle tower could thus indicate the largest church, the Holy Mary Church. The stars are aslo a common symbol for the St. Mary. All other seals of the city show the castle, the shape, however, differs between the seals. On some smaller 13<sup>th</sup> -14<sup>th</sup> century seats the castle is standing on a river and the stars are replaced by a half-moon (crescent). The castle also appears on coins minted in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. | |||
