Wappen von Westoverledingen
Official blazon
German

In Silber über einem gesenkten blauen Wellenbalken ein roter Rundschild mit silbernem Schildbuckel und zwölf Zacken, davon vier kreuzweise mit verlängerten Zacken und einer Raute an der Spitze über zwei gekreuzten roten bewimpelten Lanzen.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on November 4, 1975.

The Germanic shield and banners are derived from the 15th century seal of the Overledingerland territory. The seals showed a Germanic warrior, holding a shield and three banners. The blue wavy bar symbolises the Ems and Leda rivers that run through the municipality. The star in the middle of the shield has 12 points, one for each of the villages in the municipality.
