Interesting find from around here... I've never come across anything like this before. 👍🏼 Are you assuming Hildesheim is from the squared coat of arms?

Yes, that's right! Hildesheim would be my guess, since Akku Hildesheim's coat of arms from back then looks exactly like that. And it was found in the Hildesheim district. :)
