===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms show a lion's head as all municipalities in the Grossen Freien territory, which is not the Sehnde municipality, used a lion in their arms. | |||
The previous arms were granted in 1939, see below. | |||
The chief in the old arms shows the lion as used by all municipalities in the Grossen Freien territory. The lower half shows the blade of a spade, originally symbolising agriculture, but now also used as a symbol for the potassium mining in the area. A spade was also used by Henning von Sehnde in the 15<sup>th</sup> century. | |||
