coat of arms

The design of the speaking coat of arms of Rehburg-Loccum comes from the heraldist and author Werner Kaemling , who designed all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Hanover on July 17, 1975.

Rehburg-Loccum coat of arms
 Blazon : “In silver, a red gate building with three tinned domed towers ; in the open gate with black lattice gate wings a leaping black roebuck , in the base of the shield three red roses with golden fruitclusterand green leaf tips. "
Foundation of the coat of arms: In 1974 the council of the newly formed administrative unit "City of Rehburg-Loccum" decided to try to create a coat of arms; symbols from the coat of arms of the town of Rehburg and the municipality of Loccum should be included in it. The red castle wall with the gate and the three towers as well as the roebuck represent the town of Rehburg. These symbols were incorporated into the new coat of arms in a slightly different form. The three red roses, the emblem of Count Hallermund , were taken from the Loccum coat of arms .
