Coat of Arms

The arms were granted again in 1936, when the number of trefoils was set on 13. The arms of Kassel with the fess [actually a bend] and the trefoils is known since the end of the 15th century. The trefoil appears for the first time on a seal dating from 1243. The seal shows a fortress with a church. On the middle tower of the church a trefoil can be seen. Around 1350 trefoil appear on watermarks of the city and finally in a seal in 1467 as the sole symbol. The origin of the trefoil is still unknown. Kassel became a city around 1225 and the oldest seals show Count Hermann of Thuringia, shown as a knight. There is no sign of a trefoil.
