Escudo de armas
The two warriors shaking hands on the city's coat of arms are Hengist and Horsa, Saxon princes said to have led the Germanic conquest of southern Britain in the 5th century. Legend holds that it was here the brother warriors put aside their differences and swore to conquer the island together, a fact commemorated in the town's name (Bund, plural Bünde, means "league" or "covenant" in German).[4]
Natural history
About 30 million-year-old fossils were found in the Doberg, including a skull of a toothed whale (Eosqualodon langewieschei) and a skeleton of a manatee (Anemotherium langewieschei). Both were found in 1911–1912 by Friedrich Langewiesche, who became an honorary citizen of Bünde. The fossils are presented in 'Doberg Museum' in Bünde.
