Blazon : "Under a blue shield head , inside a striding, golden lion , red armored , in silver three intertwined, blue scythe leaves , which form a large capital" N " ." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: In the meeting on April 16, 1971, the council chose the coat of arms described above from the two drafts that the council had submitted to resolution since 1962, each symbolizing the centuries-long sovereignty of the Guelph dukes. With this, Northen took the opportunity in the last hour until the transition to the city of Gehrden and gave the place a coat of arms as a permanent symbol for the future, which emphasizes the local colors blue and white / silver. Although a large number of heraldic lions have already been taken, the coat of arms is likely to be unique because of the scythe leaves that are characteristic to the "N". |
