coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on August 19, 1965 by the Braunschweig administrative president.

The silver wolf that leaps in the upper, green half of the shield of the Beierstedt coat of arms, like the red lily in the lower, silver field, comes from the coat of arms of the extinct Braunschweig bourgeois family von Beierstedt. The wolf in their coat of arms could, however, have been a dog - it cannot be clearly recognized. In any case, he was defined as a wolf in the municipal coat of arms. The lily was in the coat of arms silver in red; to distinguish it and to improve the color balance, the colors were changed.

The council decided on the coat of arms on September 16, 1964. The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Philipp Schmidt.
