Blazon : “In blue a golden spade helmet with a black and silver helmet cover; on it as a helmet ornament a seated silver, red-armored greyhound with a red collar to which a gold ring is attached. "
The name of the place (Grimhereslebu 937) goes back to the Old High German personal name Grimheri (from grim = helmet). This is why the helmet was chosen. The crest and the colors black, silver and blue are taken from the coat of arms of the von Kotze family , who lived here from 1489 to 1830 and are closely linked to the fortunes of the village.
The coat of arms was designed by the Magdeburg State Archives Councilor Otto Korn .

- The Castle United Germersleben counted to 1999 to the attractions of the town. A fire (arson) destroyed the 400-year-old baroque palace that day. In March 2013, a right-wing rock organizer bought the castle for 12,000 euros in order to organize Nazi rock and skinhead concerts on the associated site. However, he could not meet the requirements of the city and so the castle changed hands again in 2014. Now it belongs to a private person from Groß Germersleben.
