coat of arms

The old Lüneburger Landwehr , which still exists in the area of ​​the community, has become the defining "landmark of the Reppenstedt coat of arms". It is shown in the form of a five-fold wavy, inclined "dividing line of the coat of arms". The horseshoe in the coat of arms refers to the municipality belonging to Lower Saxony. The oak leaves are a symbol of "the ancestral Lower Saxony population and indicate that the municipality of Reppenstedt is part of the Gellersen community". Finally, the "silver one" reminds of those fellow citizens who had lost their home after fleeing or expelled from the former German eastern territories and who were able to find a new home shortly before or after the end of the Second World War in the area of ​​today's Gellersen municipality - mainly in Reppenstedt Heraldic shield with the high cross (Deutsches Ostkreuz) ”.
