coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the municipal coat of arms on November 22, 1938 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld presented it on July 2, 1939.

Blazon : "In red on a galloping white horse, a silver , bearded man , wearing a silver coat and a fluttering storm collar on it, a silver balaclava and silver bundles ."

Foundation of the coat of arms: Above the village of Woltershausen, the Rennstieg leads over the Sackwald and the Siebenberge from Winzenburg to Hildesheim . On this age-old path, especially in the nights of autumn, “Hödeke” drives his being, whom legend often calls a diabolical dwarf. In reality, however, many features of the rich legends indicate the Wodan rider , and “Hödeke”, who is a wild hunter in other parts of the country under the name “Hoike”, means: the guardian or protector. The municipality of Woltershausen rightly chose the Wodansreiter, which is familiar to every village inhabitant, as a symbol of its coat of arms.
