Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 31, 1989.
The red tower is a canting element, the name means stone-castle. The municipality was created in 1978 and the namewas derived from a legend which stated that in the local forest there was a castle of a robber-knight. Whether there has been a real castle is not clear. It has been speculated that there has been a castle Nannendorf until 1349, but no evidence remains.
The oak leaf refers to the oldest village in the municipality, Eichede (Eiche=oak). Also, all three villages historically lived from forestry and currently the oak refers in general to the local nature and landscape. The oak leaf is also larger as the castle, indicating that nature in the end will conquer all buildings made by mankind.
