history

The villages were created as outposts of the Winzenburg . The villages blocked the historic roads from Gandersheim in Braunschweig to Winzenburg (Eyershausen) and Freden (Wetteborn), as well as the valley in which the "new" country road to Winzenburg and Freden (Ohlenrode) was built at the end of the 19th century. The oldest structures are today's church towers, which were defensive towers when they were built, which can be seen above all in what is probably the oldest, the Wetteborn church tower.

Blazon : "A silver palisade fence in red , above three silver watchtowers with gable roofs ."
Founding of the coat of arms: In 1974 the municipality of Landwehr emerged from a merger of the places Eyershausen, Ohlenrode and Wetteborn. Since all three communities had a special mark in their coat of arms - the palisade - this was taken over into the new coat of arms of the Landwehr community. Instead of the previous medieval weapons, three watchtowers with gable roofs were used to represent the three places.

traffic

Landwehr is connected to the road network via Bundesstraße 64 , which runs south through Bad Gandersheim.
