The arms were granted in 1928 when the towns of Bruchhausen and Vilsen were combined. The arms were already used by Bruchhausen and are based on the oldest known seal of the town, dating from 1551. The arms show in the right half a bear's claw, derived from the arms of the Counts of Hoya. The left half showed the arms of the local Counts of Bruchhausen. | The arms were granted in 1928 when the towns of Bruchhausen and Vilsen were combined.
