During the next few months many designs were made and help was asked from both the Oldenburg and the Prussian heraldic offices. Finally a design by Heinz Baumann, with sword and waves, was agreed upon and granted in 1939. The sword was taken from the old arms and also resembled the spear of Rüstringen. The waves symbolises the sea, but were also based on the Oldenburg arms. The arms were forbidden by the British occupational government in 1946. | During the next few months many designs were made and help was asked from both the Oldenburg and the Prussian heraldic offices.

Already in 1946 the council started the procedure for new arms for the city. Immediately the council agreed upon the old Frisian warrior of Rüstringen, but it was assumed that the British government would oppose the violent character. It was also proposed to change the name again into Rüstringen. In 1947 it was decided to apply for the warrior, but with the warrior holding a neutral shield, not with the arms of Oldenburg. These arms were granted in 1948 and are still in use. | Already in 1946 the council started the procedure for new arms for the city.
