Blazon : "In blue on a green three-mountain , topped with a golden urn , a four-step gable , raised with a silver chimney , accompanied on the right by a golden spike and on the left by a silver fir tree ."

Justification for the coat of arms: The urn shown in the Dreiberg indicates that rich urn finds have been made with the considerable sand deposits in the area. The sand-lime brick industry, to which the municipality of Garbsen owes its economic boom, emerged from this sand deposit. Next to the chimney there is an ear of wheat on the left, which indicates the earlier agriculture, and to the right of the chimney there is a fir tree, which is also supposed to indicate the formerly rich forest.
