Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 10, 2010.

The arms are based on the arms of the former Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Calvörde, to which most of the former municipalities belonged.

The bend is the Mittellandkanal, the willow and oak branches refer to the forests and nature in the municipality.

The previous arms were officially granted on December 10, 1993.
