coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Radenbeck comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , born in Isernhagen and later living in Hanover , who also designed the coats of arms of Großburgwedel , Mellendorf , Wunstorf and many other localities in the Hanover region . The coat of arms was approved by the local council on March 7, 1962 and approval was granted on June 6 of the same year by the district president of Lüneburg.

Blazon : " Split of silver and blue , above a wavy bar thatruns throughthe base of the shield in confused colors, in front a blue boiler hook , behind a gold - reinforced silver crane , whichholdsa golden ball in the raised stand."

Justification of the coat of arms: The wavy ribbon symbolizes the river Ohre , which was also the inner-German border during the GDR . The kettle hook indicates the agricultural and rural character of the place. The crane alludes to the field name Kronsberg , which is interpreted as Kranichberg. In heraldry , the crane is usually depicted with a stone or a ball, because it embodied vigilance due to a legend from the Middle Ages . This legend says that the crane always had to carry a stone in order not to fall asleep - falling over would have woken him up.

religion

The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Zasenbeck-Radenbeck is responsible for the Wittingen districts of Zasenbeck , Plastau and Radenbeck.
