Wappen von Schellerten

The previous arms were granted on ??-??-19??.

The arms are based on the arms of the Von Harlessen family, a rich family from Hildesheim with possessions in the village, obtained in 1426 from Magnus, Bishop of Hildesheim. The arms are based on the arms as shown on their rich townhouse in Hildesheim. The red and gold colours are those of the State of Hildesheim. The two keys are added to the Harlessen arms and are based on the parish seal, which showed a single key.
