coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of the Burgdorf district comes from Karl Wulf . The coat of arms can be found in reversed colors at the city of Burgwedel . The approval of the coat of arms was granted on February 25, 1937 by the Prussian State Ministry.

	Blazon : " oblique right of Silver and Black divided , above rotbezungtes wolf head , down an inclined right asked, Silver Wolf Angel ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms establishes a connection to Hermann Löns ' farmer's chronicle “ The Wehrwolf ”, which was located in the Burgdorf district.
