Uchte was founded around 1295 by the counts of Hoya as a fortified border town. Started as a fortress, it became a town in the late 15<sup>th</sup> century, but no seals or arms are known until the second half of the 17<sup>th</sup> century. The seal shows the arms, with the exception of the letter V instead of a U, which comes from the Latin lettering. The claws are taken from the arms of the counts of Hoya, the U is the initial of the town. | Uchte was founded around 1295 by the counts of Hoya as a fortified border town.

As none of the municipalities incorporated into Uchte in 1974 used arms, the old arms were continued by the new municipality. | As none of the municipalities incorporated into Uchte in 1974 used arms, the old arms were continued by the new municipality. | ||
