Samtgemeinde : Samtgemeinde Sögel

(de) Im goldenen Schildhaupt ein schwarzes Hünengrab mit großem Deckstein auf drei Tragesteinen. Darunter in Rot zwei schräglinke silberne Wellenleisten, begleitet von zwei goldenen, schräglinks gestellten Eicheln. Zwischen den Wellenleisten eine goldene Ähre.

The arms show in chief a prehistoric grave monument, as many of these can be found in the area.

The wavy bends symbolise the Nord- and Mittelradde rivers. The wheat and acorn symbolise the agricultural character and forests/nature.

The colours are those of the State of Münster, to which the area belonged until 1803.
