coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the coat of arms on May 29, 1939 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld presented it on July 20 of the same year.

	Blazon : "In the green shield a righting itself goldzüngiger , winged , silver dragon . With a sophisticated and easy-ringed tail"
	Foundation of the coat of arms: The old village church in Rheden shows in its rich symbolism u. a. also a dragon. Popular vernacular and local legend see in him the guardian of the most sacred goods of folkish existence, folk style and customs. He is simply the treasurer. From this point of view, the coat of arms chosen by the municipality of Rheden receives a truly deep and valuable meaning.
