The arms of Goslar show the imperial eagle, indicating that Goslar was a Free Imperial City from early medieval times until 1803. The eagle first appeared in the local seals in the middle of the 14<sup>th</sup> century (oldest known seal dates from 1345), but the use may be already one century older, as the eagle has only one head. The imperial eagle changed to a double-headed eagle in the late 13<sup>th</sup> century. Ever since the seals and arms of the city have used the eagle. Presently the city uses an eagle with special wings, to distinguish the arms from the German national arms. | The arms of Goslar show the imperial eagle, indicating that Goslar was a Free Imperial City from early medieval times until 1803.
