Dieburger seal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urban seal

The two oldest surviving seals of the city of Dieburg date from 1421 and 1538 . This seal already showed Martin von Tours , which can be traced back to Dienburg's close relationship with Kurmainz . Kurmainz honored Martin von Tours as patron . However, the color of these seals is unknown. A seal from the 17th century also used Martin von Tours as a seal symbol. In the 18th century , however, Dieburg used a different type of seal. Only a simple D for Dieburg was used as the seal image. This D was also shown on the weather vane of the town hall above the Gaasbeck clock at the beginning of the 20th century .

State seal Dieburger authorities

Like all Kurmainzer authorities in the 18th century, the Dieburg Office ran the Mainz wheel under the electoral hat . Some seals from this time show a merging of the Dieburger D with the Mainz wheel, which indicates a close relationship between Dieburg and Kurmainz.
