coat of arms

Blazon : “Lowered wave division of silver and blue above the golden arched base; below covered with a silver ploughshare; from it a green leafed linden tree. "

“The symbols of the formerly independent localities have been incorporated into the coat of arms of the newly created political community. The linden tree was borrowed from the coat of arms of the Neustadt community, a ploughshare from the 'talking' coat of arms of Bischofferode, which stands for the clearing activities of the first settlers of the place, which gave the name. For the community of Großbodungen, a blue wave division of the shield was chosen as a symbol for the brook Bode, which flows through the communities Bischofferode and Großbodungen before it flows into the Wipper at Bleicherode. The curved base of the shield finally points to the name of the newly created municipality of Ohmberg . "
