Origin/meaning

The arms were granted in 1963.

The colours of the arms are derived from the colours of the arms of the diocese of Hildesheim, to which the village belonged. The local castle has long been the object of wars between the Dukes of Braunschweig and the Bishops of Hildesheim. The wolf and rose are both taken from the arms of the (extinct) Lords of Lutter, who used a (complete) wolf above a rose.

The arms below were proposed and adopted by the council in 1949, but were never officially granted.

Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
