coat of arms

The coat of arms shows three golden oak leaves with three golden acorns arranged underneath on a blue shield. These symbols refer to the assumed original meaning of the place name as "Eichenheim". The colors blue and gold show the bond with the former Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , to which the place belonged for centuries.

The coat of arms was approved by the Interior Minister of Lower Saxony on June 25, 1951; the design was made by Rudolf Dehnke.

Culture and sights

In the place are the Eixer mill and the Berger mill. The two water mills on the Fuhse are no longer in operation today. Only the weir is still used to control the water level. Since the spring of 2011, the Eixer Mühle has been a station on the " Lower Saxony Mühlenstrasse ".
The Protestant church at the old cemetery was originally a half-timbered building from the 18th century. In 1933 the walls were rebuilt as brick walls and plastered.
The Eixer See is a former gravel pond, which was developed for the Peiner local recreation offer with lido and DLRG wax station.
