According to local research in Bienenbüttel, the place name is derived directly from Biangibudiburg , which was first mentioned in a document from Heinrich II. Dated November 2, 1004. This is also reflected in the town's coat of arms: with the castle as a reference to Biangibudiburg, with the scales as a sign of jurisdiction, which was attached to the Bienenbüttel bailiwick until the middle of the 18th century, and the fish as a characteristic of the Ilmenau and river the previously existing ford into the Wendenland.
