Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1981.
The crossed swords point to the lower noble family Von Hartenrode, from which the place name Hardert is derived. They are also shown on the seals of Heinrich von Hardert (1483) and Johann von Hardert (1523 and 1543).
The oak leaves symbolize the forests and the ear of wheat the agricultural character of the municipality.
The colors red and gold are taken from the coat of arms of the Counts, later Princes of Wied, to whose territorial property Hardert belonged for a long time.
