Franconian settlers founded a settlement here probably 1200 years ago and drove their fields into the forest. The place name, which is derived from the stumps of trees that were left behind during the clearing activity, indicates such clearing - perhaps on the grounds of the yard of a Saxon noble family .

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Niedernstöcken comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Hanover on March 29, 1967.

Blazon : "In green a silver wavy bar , above a silver piece , below a simple, right -turned, golden plow with a silver ploughshare and fore iron."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The community is located directly on the lower reaches of the Leine River and has remained a purely agricultural settlement to this day. The Leinetal , formerly covered by large oak forests, was gradually cleared through clearing. It is known that the last oak trees were felled around 1800. The old place name Stockem , so mentioned in documents, indicates abundance of forests and clearing and was only renamed Niedernstöcken around 1600. The aforementioned location and development of the place as well as the interpretation of the place name are expressed in the coat of arms.
