Rodenberg received town rights from the Counts of Schaumburg before 1375 and city rights in 1615. The oldest seal dates from the 14<sup>th</sup> century and shows the arms of the Counts of Schaumburg with the typical Nesselblatt (nettle-leaf) symbol, above a four-topped mountain. The mountain, Berg, is a canting element. In the 17<sup>th</sup> century the composition appears on a shield, and the number of tops was reduced to two. The colours are used as such since the late 19<sup>th</sup> century. | Rodenberg received town rights from the Counts of Schaumburg before 1375 and city rights in 1615.
