Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1966.
Witzenhausen was a possession of the Counts of Thüringen, who granted the city rights in 1225. The oldest seal is known since 1247 and shows a city wall and three church towers. In the early 16th century the gate was added and a letter W was placed in the gate. Later seals and images, however, were still sometimes based on the oldest seal.

The arms in an 1884 book |
Seal from around 1900 |
The arms by Hupp in the Kaffee Hag albums +/- 1925 |
