coat of arms

The local coat of arms, with the three roses in the head of the shield, is based on the coat of arms of the Counts of Hallermund , whose main rulership was in the area around the Deister . In the 13th century, the von Hallermunds owned family property in Harenberg, which among other things fell to the Marienwerder monastery in 1220 (gift from Count Burchard von Oldenburg from his mother Beatrix von Hallermund's inheritance). After the foundation of the coat of arms of the graphic artist and heraldist Alfred Brecht in 1962, the scythes stand for the rural character of the village and the bee (Imme) is reminiscent of the nearby desert .
