Heraldry of the World Civic heraldry of Germany - Deutsche Wappen (Gemeindewappen/Kreiswappen) |
|
ZWEIDORF
State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Peine (until 1974 Braunschweig)
Incorporated into : 1974 Wendeburg
Origin/meaning :
The arms were officially granted on August 27, 1964.
The arms are based on the arms of the Von Zweidorf family, who used a green bar with on each side two half roses with four leaves rather than the more common 5 leaf-variety. The municipality decided to use only one rose to distinguish the arms from the family arms.
