Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
DRINGENBERG
State : Nordrhein-Westfalen
District (Kreis) : Höxter (until 1974 Warburg)
Incorporated into : 1975 Bad Driburg
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 1908.
The arms are based on the oldest seal of the city, which dates from the early 14th century. Dringenberg got city rights in 1323 by Bernhard von Lippe, bishop of Paderborn. The seal shows a wall with three towers, a common picture to signify the fact that the town was a city. In the gate the Bernhard von Lippe can be seen (a bishop with the arms of Lippe). This picture was used on the seals of the city ever since.
In the meantime the city used different arms. The oldest known arms of the city date from the 15th century and show a single cross on a three-topped mountain. In a roll of arms from 1780 only a cross is mentioned as arms of the city.
