The St. Andrew's cross in the coat of arms symbolizes the location of Brunsen at the intersection of federal highways 3 and 64, which were important trade routes and highways in earlier times. The church on the mountain is the symbol of Brunsen as a place of the villages of the Samtgemeinde Auf dem Berge .
