coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Kreiensen comes from Helmut Millies from the small town of Gronau (Leine) . The coat of arms was adopted by the municipal council on September 11, 1975 and approved by the Gandersheim district on October 1 of the same year.

Blazon : “In red an oblique left silver wave bar ; above a striding, crowned golden lion , below three obliquely left golden roses with red infructescence . "

Justification for the coat of arms: The wavy bar symbolizes the river Leine. The line provided energy for mills and also serves as pendulum water for the pumped storage plant in Erzhausen. The lion stands for the family of the Lords of Homburg and is the heraldic animal of the Guelph dukes. The three golden roses with red clusters are from the coat of arms of those of Oldershausen . Since 1318 the Lords of Oldershausen have been connected to this room as leaning supporters.
