LEMFÖRDE
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Diepholz
Samtgemeinde : Samtgemeinde Altes Amt Lemförde
Official blazon
(de)
Origin/meaning
The town was built around the castle built by the counts of Diepholz against the bishops of Münster. The castle was named Leuenforde (or Lion-ford), and the lion in the arms is derived from the lion of the counts of Diepholz. The arms were based on a 16th century seal. The present name was adapted in the 18th century to avoid confusion with Lauenförde.
 The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
