Other historical names are Herkenblede, first mentioned in 1226 and Erkenblede, mentioned in 1312.

coat of arms

The Harkenbleck municipal coat of arms was designed by the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who designed all of the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on June 2, 1961 by the district president in Hanover.

Blazon : " Split shield , in fronta red gate (hurdle) in gold , behind in red a silver cross stone ."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms shows good meaning and emphasizes the rural character of the place. The colors in the front half of the shield confirm the supremacy of the Hildesheim diocese , which shows the early history with the hurdle. In the back, the Siebenstein , which stands on a solid base at the village exit to Wilkenburg and is known beyond the community, is shown close to the present in the red field in the Lower Saxony colors. At its meeting on March 16, 1961, the council of the municipality realized the wish to include this Siebenstein in the coat of arms.
