Blumenau was first mentioned in a document in 1317 in a comparative document as "Borstelde". Already in documents from 1320 and 1321 the new name was found in the spelling “Blomenow” or “Blomenowe” for the location in the flowery river valley. Liethe was called "Grevincborstelde" as early as 1297 and only found its current name in 1547. After Blumenau came into possession of the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, the office of Blumenau was established. In 1790 the office was transferred to the bailiwick of the city of Wunstorf, and in 1819 it also took over the tasks of the office of Bokeloh. It retained its function for over 400 years until it was dissolved in 1859. Subsequently, it was incorporated into the Neustadt district , which later became the Neustadt district.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Blumenau comes from the heraldist and author Werner Kaemling , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Hanover on June 29, 1970.

Blasonierung : "On blue , diagonally left by silver wave beams split plate in the right, upper section of the upper body of a right directional rising, gold , red - reinforced lions , five jagged crowned ; in the lower left field two crossed, stylized , golden horse heads . "

Justification of the coat of arms: In the coat of arms book of the district of Hanover it says:

“The silver wave bar stands for the Aue river, which flows through the Blumenau district. The lion refers to the family of the Counts of Roden-Wunstorf , who owned a permanent house here in the Middle Ages, and also indicates Blumenau's centuries-old role as the seat of a Brunswick-Lüneburg or royal Hanover office . The horse heads as a sign of the Lower Saxon peasant class symbolize the division of the Blumenau domain in 1936 and the associated settlement of 22 farming families who had to leave their properties in the Lüneburg Heath when a military training area was established there.
