Deventer is an old Imperial city and important member of the Hanseatic League. The city was thus entitled to use the Imperial eagle. As the eagle is one-headed the right to use the eagle was probably already granted prior to 1250. The oldest seals of the city (1268, 1274, 1352), however show only a city wall with an apple or orb. The eagle first appeared on the seals in 1459. All later seals and images use the eagle. The imperial crown first appeared in the late 16th or early 17<sup>th</sup> century. The supporters were used also since the 17<sup>th</sup> century, but never appeared on the seals of the city. In 1818 the arms were granted, but not correctly, In 1890 the arms were slightly corrected and the old complete arms were restored in 1921. | Deventer is an old Imperial city and important member of the Hanseatic League.
