Oldenburg was the seat of the counts of the same name, and received city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century. The oldest seal dates from the 13<sup>th</sup> century and is known since 1307. The seal shows only a castle. In the late 14<sup>th</sup> century, the patron saint, St. Lawrence is shown in the gate, with the arms of the counts of Oldenburg on each side. From the 16<sup>th</sup> century onwards the patron saint was removed and only the, simplified, arms of the counts are seen in the gate. | Oldenburg was the seat of the counts of the same name, and received city rights in the 13<sup>th</sup> century.
