| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| Vörden was founded as a village near the castle of the Bishops of Osnabrück in the early 14<sup>th</sup> century. In 1391 a council is mentioned, but the oldest seal of the council dates from the early 15<sup>th</sup> century. It shows the wheel of the State of Osnabrück, but with fewer spokes (compare also [[Melle]]). The colours are also the colours of the State of Osnabrück.
