Blazon : "In gold on a green Dreiberg coveredwith a silver wavy bar ,a green tuft of grass ." |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: The popular interpretation of the name “Gras-Dorf” and the location of the district on both sides of the Leine with the three elevations “Kronsberg”, “Döseckenberg” and “Liethberg” were decisive for the design of the coat of arms. |
