coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the local coat of arms on June 22, 1938 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld handed it over on October 28 of the same year.

	Blazon : "In red on a silver ground, a silver oak tree with silver leaves and golden fruits that isvisible to the roots of the branches, in front of it a silver badger with golden claws and an extended blue tongue."
	Justification of the coat of arms: Since the history of the village of Eimsen offered no basis for the design of the coat of arms, the municipality chose the mighty oak towering above the village as the coat of arms symbol and placed the badger under it as a special feature, which is quite common in the forests of the village.
