Gespalten in Silber; vorn ein halber roter Adler mit goldener Bewehrung und Brustspange, daneben ein aufgerichteter roter Schlüssel mit rückgewendetem Bart; hinten ein roter Adler mit goldener Bewehrung und Brustspangen, in den Fängen zwei liegende rote Schlüssel pfahlweise, über die Schwingen gestülpt zwei stahlfarbene Kübelhelme mit schwarzem goldverziertem Flug, in der Halsbeuge ein sechseckiger goldener Stern.
Origin/meaning
The arms combine the arms of the two former cities, Salzwedel Altstadt and Salzwedel Neustadt, which were joined in 1713. The arms thus date from 1713. Both the cities used the red eagle of Brandenburg, as the area was ruled by the Counts of Brandenburg since 1134. The eagle also appeared on the old seals of the cities.
The keys are a symbol for the diocese of Verden, as the churches in both cities belonged to the Bishops of Verden. The Neustadt used the eagle of Brandenburg with the typical helmets on the wings, as well as an additional star. The meaning of the star is not known.
